Hot carrier relaxation by extreme electron-LO phonon scattering in GaN
Hot carrier relaxation has been investigated in GaN using non-resonant femtosecond excitation where electrons are excited above and below the LO phonon energy. We observe remarkably rapid electron relaxation; the electron distribution is non-thermal, with a "cut-off" occurring near E-LO. I...

| सारांश: | Hot carrier relaxation has been investigated in GaN using non-resonant femtosecond excitation where electrons are excited above and below the LO phonon energy. We observe remarkably rapid electron relaxation; the electron distribution is non-thermal, with a "cut-off" occurring near E-LO. In a preliminary Monte Carlo study we have simulations which reproduce the major experimental observations, confirming the development of a non-thermal electron distribution near E-LO due to the strong electron-LO phonon interaction. Hot phonon effects are pronounced at high carrier densities. |
