Femtosecond electron and hole thermalisation in AlGaAs

Femtosecond optical absorption spectra of AlxGa1-xAs reveal rapid thermalisation of the electron-hole plasma to a two-temperature carrier distribution after ∼ 500fs. The carriers thermalise to a single-temperature distribution at ∼ 10ps. Single phonon emission by electrons is observed at early times...
