Relaxation of photoexcited hot carriers beyond multitemperature models: General theory description verified by experiments on Pb/Si(111)
The equilibration of electronic carriers in metals after excitation by an ultra-short laser pulse provides an important class of non-equilibrium phenomena in metals and allows measuring the effective electron-phonon coupling parameter. Since the observed decay of the electronic distribution is governed by the interplay of both electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering, …
