The Auger decay is a relevant recombination channel during the first few femtoseconds of molecular targets impinged by attosecond XUV or soft X-ray pulses. Including this mechanism in time--dependent simulations of charge--migration processes is a difficult task, and Auger scatterings are often ignored altogether. In this work we present an advance of the current state-of-the-art by putting forward a real--time approach based on nonequilibrium Green's functions suitable for first-principles calculations of molecules with tens of active electrons. To demonstrate the accuracy of the method we report comparisons against accurate grid simulations of one-dimensional systems. We also predict a highly asymmetric profile of the Auger wavepacket, with a long tail exhibiting ripples temporally spaced by the inverse of the Auger energy.
Ultrafast spectroscopy of propagating coherent acoustic phonons in GaN/InGaN heterostructures
我们发现，大振幅，相干声学声子波包可以产生和检测在$_x$ Ga $_{1-x}$ N/GAN外延层和异质结构在飞秒泵浦探测差分反射率实验。相干声子的振幅随着铟分数$x$的增加而增加，并且与其他相干声子振荡不同，\textit{amplitude}和\textit{period}都是激光探针能量的强函数。当波包到达表面下方的GaN-蓝宝石界面时，振荡的幅度基本上且几乎瞬间减小，这表明声子波包对于表面下方的成像是有用的。提出了一个理论模型，该模型与实验符合得很好，并有助于推导声子波包的强度。我们的模型表明，局域相干声子波包产生的飞秒泵浦激光在外延层的表面附近。然后，波包通过GAN层传播，主要通过Franz-Keldysh效应改变局部折射率，从而调制探测光束的反射率。我们的模型正确地预测了实验依赖于探针波长以及外延层厚度。

在金属二硫属化物中载流子迁移率的最终限制，以及与载流子弛豫相关的动力学，尚不清楚。我们提出了测量的多层dichalcogenide二硫化钼的频率依赖性的电导率的光泵太赫兹探测光谱。我们发现这种材料在低温下的迁移率接近4200 cm 2/Vs。散射的温度依赖性表明，迁移率，一个数量级大于以前报道的二硫化钼，是固有的限制在太赫兹频率的声学声子散射。我们的测量载流子弛豫揭示皮秒冷却时间，然后再复合持续数十纳秒，并占主导地位的俄歇散射到缺陷。我们的研究结果提供了一个有用的背景下，了解和评估的二硫化钼为基础的电子和光电子器件的性能。
