Joule heating in bad and slow metals
Heat supplied to a metal is absorbed by the electrons and then transferred to the lattice. In conventional metals energy is released to the lattice by phonons emitted from the Lindhard continuum. However in a `bad' metal, with short mean free path, the low energy Lindhard continuum is destro...
