Disorder-Assisted Electron-Phonon Scattering and Cooling Pathways in Graphene

We predict that graphene is a unique system where disorder-assisted scattering (supercollisions) dominates electron-lattice cooling over a wide range of temperatures, up to room temperature. This is so because for momentum-conserving electron-phonon scattering the energy transfer per collision is se...
