The transport of heat (or energy in general) in nanoscopic heterostructures is of great interest on a fundamental as well as a technological level, e.g. in the context of thermal management in devices or heat-assisted magnetic recording. In metal heterostructures, heat can be conducted by electrons, which are in- or out-of-equilibrium with lattice vibrations. Using time-resolved x-ray diffraction, we investigate the thermal transport through a 100 nm Cu layer sandwiched by thin Pt and Ni films on a glass substrate on picosecond time scales after femtosecond laser excitation. A time-dependent diffusive transport model accurately reproduces our experimental data and thus verifies the efficient transport channel from the laser excited Pt-layer to the Ni-layer via hot electrons. The results imply dominant diffusive instead of ballistic electron transport.
