Abstract The relaxation time of highly nonequilibrium electrons whose excitation energy ¦Δε¦ is of the order of the Fermi energy ε F is measured. The measurements are made on bismuth samples with the aid of transverse electron focusing with micron intercontact separations. The dependence of the electron collision frequency on the excitation energy is found to be close to linear. The possibility of observing the topological restructuring of a closed isoenergetic surface into an open surface in Bi with an increase in the electron energy is discussed.
