Accumulation of the decay products of nonequilibrium optical phonons in a GaAs-AIxGa1-xAs superlattice
Vainert Kh. , Zhukauskas A. , Latinis V., Styapankyavichyus V.
An increment in the electron temperature in a photoexcited GaAs-Alx Gaj _xAs superlattice stems from a long-lived nonequilibrium population of vibrational modes with a frequency half that of a longitudinal optical (LO) phonon.
