Abstract
The temperature of conduction electrons can be raised above the lattice temperature by a high electric current density. The achieved temperature difference is proportional to the electron-phonon relaxation time. Weak localization yields information about the electron temperature and allows the conclusion that electron-phonon processes are an essential determinant for the inelastic lifetime of the conduction electrons.
