Transient thermal and nonthermal electron and phonon relaxation after
Several dynamic thermal and nonthermal scattering processes affect ultrafast heat transfer 7 in metals after short-pulsed laser heating. Even with decades of measurements of electron8 phonon relaxation, the role of thermal vs. nonthermal electron and phonon scattering on 9 overall electron energy transfer to the phonons remains unclear. In this work, we derive 10 an analytical expression for th...
متن کاملUltrafast quasiparticle relaxation dynamics in normal metals and heavy-fermion materials
We present a detailed theoretical study of the ultrafast quasiparticle relaxation dynamics observed in normal metals and heavy-fermion materials with femtosecond time-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy. For normal metals, a nonthermal electron distribution gives rise to a temperature~T! independent electron-phonon relaxation time at low temperatures, in contrast to the T-divergent behavio...
متن کاملUltrafast Hot Carrier Dynamics in Materials from Ab Initio Calculations
!!!!!How does an excited electron lose its energy? This problem is central in fields ranging from condensed matter physics to electrical engineering and energy. We developed and applied calculations to study the dynamics of out-of-equilibrium charge carriers – also known as hot carriers (HCs) – in semiconductors and metals [1–3]. We present ab initio calculations of electron-phonon, electron-el...
متن کاملTheory and computation of hot carriers generated by surface plasmon polaritons in noble metals
Hot carriers (HC) generated by surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in noble metals are promising for application in optoelectronics, plasmonics and renewable energy. However, existing models fail to explain key quantitative details of SPP-to-HC conversion experiments. Here we develop a quantum mechanical framework and apply first-principles calculations to study the energy distribution and scatte...
متن کاملTransient heat transport by carriers and phonons in semiconductors
The electron and phonon temperature distribution in semiconductors initially heated on the surface with a short laser pulse is calculated as a function of position and time. We solved the coupled one-dimensional heat diffusion equations for electron and phonon systems in the linear approximation in which the physical parameters of the sample are temperature independent. We also consider the hea...
