The interference {\textasciitilde}T^2-term, which is proportional to the residual resistivity, dominates over the Bloch-Gr{\"u}neisen contribution to resistivity at low temperatures up to 60 K. The electron energy relaxation rate is directly measured via the relaxation of hot electrons heated by modulated electromagnetic radiation. In the temperature range 1.5 - 10 K the relaxation rate shows a weak dependence on the electron mean free path and strong temperature dependence T^n with the exponent n = 2.5-3. This behaviour is well explained by the theory of the electron-phonon-impurity interference taking into account the electron coupling with transverse phonons determined from the resistivity data.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1591), last updated on Mon, 31 May 2021 21:13:41 -0500", opturl="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1998APS..MAR.Y3508K/abstract" }
