Direct determination of the electron-electron mean free path in   diffusive mesoscopic samples using shot noise
  Using the 'drift-diffusion-Langevin' equation, we have recently shown that finite-frequency shot noise in diffusive mesoscopic conductors is very sensitive to the ratio $\gamma \equiv L/\lee$ between the sample length $L$ and the electron-electron mean free path $\lee$. In this work we present numerical calculations of the noise at arbitrary value of $\gamma$. If coupled with accurate noise measurements, the results presented here could serve as a new and independent way of determining $\lee$ in a given sample.
