How Can Electron-Phonon Scattering be Manipulated?
Manipulating electron-phonon scattering can be achieved through various strategies. For instance, engineering the material's crystal structure and introducing nanoinclusions can scatter phonons more effectively while allowing electrons to move freely. Additionally, using heterostructures and superlattices can create periodic potentials that modify scattering rates, thereby optimizing the material's properties for specific applications.
