... and quantum mechanical derivation of electron–phonon scattering at free electron metal/nonmetal substrate interfaces. A simplified approach to the Fermi's Golden Rule with electron energy transitions between only three energy levels is adopted to derive an electron–phonon diffuse mismatch model, that account...
