Abstract

Normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junctions were used as thermometers at sub-Kelvin temperatures to study the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in thin aluminum films doped with manganese, as a function of manganese concentration. The temperature dependence of the e-p interaction is consistent with an existing theory for disordered metals. The strength of the interaction decreases with increasing manganese concentration, providing a means to improve sensitivity of detectors and the base temperature of solid state coolers.
