The present work is concerned with studying accurately the energy-loss processes that control the thermalization of hot electrons and holes that are generated by high-energy radiation in wurtzite GaN, using an ab initio approach. Current…
We study the formation and decay of electron-hole droplets in diamonds at both low and high temperatures under different excitations by master equations. The calculation reveals that at low temperature the kinetics of the system behaves as…
To investigate the initial process of Joule heating in semiconductors microscopically and quantitatively, we developed a theoretical framework for the ab initio evaluation of the carrier energy relaxation in semiconductors under a high…
Understanding initial electron thermalization has relevance to both fundamental scientific knowledge and application to the construction of novel devices. In this study, attosecond transient absorption is used to directly measure initial…
We present calculation of photoexcitation and high-harmonic generation in bulk diamond induced by intense near-infrared laser pulse of photon energy 1.55 eV, time duration of 15 fs and peak field strength $F=$ 0.4 V/{\AA}. Depending on the…
Focused MeV ion beams with micrometric resolution are suitable tools for the direct writing of conductive graphitic channels buried in an insulating diamond bulk. Their effectiveness has been shown for the fabrication of multi-electrode…
The energetic evaluations of graphite-to-diamond transition by electron irradiation are performed. The heat conduction problem is solved for the diamond synthesis when a pulse-periodic source of energy is located within a graphite cylinder;…
$\beta$-Gallium Oxide (Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$) is an extensively investigated ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor for potential applications in power electronics and RF switching. The room temperature bulk electron mobility ($\sim$200…
In band-like semiconductors, charge carriers form a thermal energy distribution rapidly after optical excitation. In hybrid lead halide perovskites, the cooling of such thermal carrier distributions occurs on timescales of ~300 fs via…
We study the electron and phonon thermalization in simple metals excited by a laser pulse. The thermalization is investigated numerically by solving the Boltzmann transport equation taking into account all the relevant scattering mechanism:…
We develop a theory of energy relaxation and thermalization of hot carriers in real quantum wires. Our theory is based on a controlled perturbative approach for large excitation energies and emphasizes the important roles of the electron…
Single-crystal diamond substrates presenting a high concentration of negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV-) are on high demand for the development of optically pumped solid-state sensors such as magnetometers, thermometers or…
Here we describe model calculations to follow the spatio-temporal evolution of secondary electron cascades in diamond. The band structure of the insulator has been explicitly incorporated into the calculations as it affects ionizations from…
We present a theory for the rate of energy exchange between electrons and ions -- also known as the electron-ion coupling factor -- in physical systems ranging from hot solid metals to plasmas, including liquid metals and warm dense matter.…
We perform single- and multi-band Migdal-Eliashberg (ME) calculations with parameters exctracted from density functional theory (DFT) simulations to study superconductivity in the electric-field-induced 2-dimensional hole gas at the…
The electron-phonon interaction contribution to the electronic energies is included in density functional total energy calculations with ab initio pseudopotentials via the Allen formalism [Phys. Rev. B 18, 5217 (1978)] to obtain temperature…
We compute the transient dynamics of phonons in contact with high energy "hot" charge carriers in 12 polar and non-polar semiconductors, using a first-principles Boltzmann transport framework. For most materials, we find that the decay in…
Secondary electron cascades are responsible for significant ionizations in macroscopic samples during irradiation with X-rays. A quantitative analysis of these cascades is needed, e.g. for assessing damage in optical components at X-ray…
Reported electron and hole mobilities, and their saturation velocities, in diamond span orders of magnitude across the literature. We attribute this dispersion primarily to (i) the electric-field window probed in TCT measurements, (ii) the…
Focused MeV ion microbeams are suitable tools for the direct writing of conductive graphitic channels buried in an insulating diamond bulk, as demonstrated in previous works with the fabrication of multi-electrode ionizing radiation…
