Which mechanism dictates increased metallic conductance when temperature decreases?

A)Decreased electron-phonon scattering
B)Increased electron mean-free path
C)Enhanced electron-electron interactions
D)Reduced surface plasmon resonance

💡 Explanation

Lower temperature reduces lattice vibration amplitude; therefore decreased electron-phonon scattering occurs because the electrons encounter fewer obstacles, increasing conductivity rather than the effects of changed electron interactions under changing temperature.
