摘要: Recent experiments on germanium have indicated anomalously long energy relaxation times for dense electron-hole plasmas produced by intense optical picosecond pulses. Since the carriers relax primarily through optical-phonon emission it is suggested here that equilibration time due to a bottleneck buildup of population scale. A comparison theory and experiment gives excellent agreement.
