Abstract

The rapid development of the computational methods based on density functional theory, on the one hand, and of the time- energy- and momentum- resolved spectroscopy, on the other hand, allows today an unprecedently detailed insight into the processes governing hot electron relaxation dynamics, and, in particular, into the role of the electron-phonon coupling [1]. Recently, we have developed a computational method, based on density functional theory and on interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements in Wannier space, for the calculation of the electron-phonon coupling in polar materials [2]. This method allowed us to successfully interpret the dynamics of hot electron relaxation in bulk GaAs, in excellent agreement with time- and angle- resolved photoemission experiments. We have demonstrated, for the relaxation of hot carriers in GaAs, the existence of two distinct relaxation regimes, one related with the momentum, and the other with energy relaxation [3]. Interestingly, the energy relaxation times become faster at lower energies [4].
