热电子弛豫时间尺度对电子-电子和电子-声子相互作用强度的参数依赖性

Parametric dependence of hot electron relaxation timescales on electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction strengths

Richard Wilson, Sinisa Coh

摘要:

理解光激发电子动力学如何依赖于电子-电子(e-e)和电子-声子(e-p)相互作用强度对于许多领域都很重要,例如超快磁性,电子自旋,等离子体等。在这里,我们报告简单的表达式,捕捉电子分布弛豫时间的电子-电子和电子-p相互作用的相互作用。我们观察到的依赖性的动态电子和电子-p相互作用的强度是普遍的大多数金属,也是违反直觉的。虽然只有e-p相互作用减少了激发电子储存的总能量,但能量离开电子子系统的时间也取决于e-e相互作用强度,因为e-e相互作用增加了发射声子的电子的数量。电子-电子相互作用对能量弛豫的影响在电子-电子相互作用强的金属中最大。最后,高能电子态保持被占据的时间仅取决于电子-电子相互作用的强度,即使电子-电子散射率比电子-电子散射率大得多。

英文摘要:

Understanding how photoexcited electron dynamics depend on electron-electron (e-e) and electron-phonon (e-p) interaction strengths is important for many fields, e.g. ultrafast magnetism, photocatalysis, plasmonics, and others. Here, we report simple expressions that capture the interplay of e-e and e-p interactions on electron distribution relaxation times. We observe a dependence of the dynamics on e-e and e-p interaction strengths that is universal to most metals and is also counterintuitive. While only e-p interactions reduce the total energy stored by excited electrons, the time for energy to leave the electronic subsystem also depends on e-e interaction strengths because e-e interactions increase the number of electrons emitting phonons. The effect of e-e interactions on energy-relaxation is largest in metals with strong e-p interactions. Finally, the time high energy electron states remain occupied depends only on the strength of e-e interactions, even if e-p scattering rates are much greater than e-e scattering rates.
