Electron cooling and debye-waller effect in photoexcited bismuth.
By means of first principles calculations, we compute the effective electron-phonon coupling constant G(0) governing the electron cooling in photoexcited bismuth. G(0) strongly increases as a function of electron temperature, which can be traced back to the semimetallic nature of bismuth. We also use a thermodynamical model to compute the time evolution of both electron and lattice temperatures...
متن کاملCoherent phonon coupling to individual Bloch states in photoexcited bismuth.
We investigate the temporal evolution of the electronic states at the bismuth (111) surface by means of time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The binding energy of bulklike bands oscillates with the frequency of the A(1g) phonon mode, whereas surface states are insensitive to the coherent displacement of the lattice. A strong dependence of the oscillation amplitude on the electro...
متن کاملCarrier thermalization dynamics in single zincblende and wurtzite InP Nanowires.
Using transient Rayleigh scattering (TRS) measurements, we obtain photoexcited carrier thermalization dynamics for both zincblende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) InP single nanowires (NW) with picosecond resolution. A phenomenological fitting model based on direct band-to-band transition theory is developed to extract the electron-hole-plasma density and temperature as a function of time from TRS measu...
متن کاملRole of adsorbates on dynamics of hot-electron (type I and II) thermalization within gold nanoparticles
Early stages of hot-electron thermalization in small gold nanoparticles wrapped in an adsorbates shell have been investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Type-I hot electrons thermalize in 800 fs (to form type-II hot electron) either by scattering with cold conduction band electrons or by chemical interface scattering with adsorbates shell. Type-II hot electrons redistribu...
متن کاملUltrafast Electron Relaxation in Superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8!! by Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is employed to study the dynamics of photoexcited electrons in optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8!! (Bi-2212). Hot electrons thermalize in less than 50 fs and dissipate their energy on two distinct time scales (110 fs and 2 ps). These are attributed to the generation and subsequent decay of nonequilibrium phonons, respectively. We conclude that 20% of the tot...
