The electron-phonon interaction in gold and silver is weak, which leads to both their high conductivity and lack of conventional superconductivity. Here, Kumbhakar and coauthors find, using point contact spectroscopy, that the electron-phonon interaction in a nanostructured gold-silver film can be enhanced by over two orders of magnitude compared to the constituent elements.
