The temperature interval of constant τe, where scattering by the deformation potential predominates, is determined. In the preceding, low-temperature region, where piezoacoustic and deformation-potential-induced scattering processes coexist, τ e decreases slowly with increasing temperature. Optical phonons start to participate in the scattering processes at T∼25 K (the characteristic phonon lifetime was equal to τLOτ4.5 ps). The energy losses calculated from the τe data in a model with an effective nonequilibrium electron temperature agree with the published data obtained under strong heating conditions. %K 2DEG %K AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures %R 10.1134/1.567211 %U http://link.springer.com/10.1134/1.567211 %U https://doi.org/10.1134/1.567211 %P 404-409
