Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have investigated the electron-lattice energy exchanges in silver and gold nanoparticles in the weak excitation regime (induced electron temperature rise smaller than 100 K). The results were found to be independent of the nanoparticle environment permitting to analyze the effect of particle size reduction on the intrinsic electron-lattice coupling.
