The distribution function of electrons and phonons interacting with electrons in semiconductors and semimetals in high electric and quantizing magnetic fields as a result of the solution of the coupled system of equations for the density…
The quasi-stationary nonequilibrium distribution function of an independent electron gas interacting with a medium, which is at local thermal equilibrium, can be obtained by entropy production rate minimization, subject to constraints of…
We develop a theory of energy relaxation in semiconductors and insulators highly excited by the long-acting external irradiation. We derive the equation for the non-equilibrium distribution function of excited electrons. The solution for…
We investigate the dynamics of an electron coupled to dispersionless optical phonons in the Holstein model, at high temperatures. The dynamics is conventionally believed to be diffusive, as the electron is repeatedly scattered by optical…
We discuss a semiclassical approach to solve the quantum impurity model within non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory for electron-lattice models. The effect of electronic fluctuations on the phonon is kept beyond Ehrenfest dynamics,…
We present a framework to determine nonequilibrium steady states in strongly correlated electron systems in the presence of dissipation. This is demonstrated for a correlated electron (Falicov-Kimball) model attached to a heat bath and…
The dissociation of excited electron-hole pairs is a microscopic process that is fundamental to the performance of photovoltaic systems. For this process to be successful, the oppositely charged electron and hole must overcome an…
The concept of \textit{optical} exciton - a photo-excited bound electron-hole pair within a crystal - is routinely used to interpret and model a wealth of excited-state phenomena in semiconductors. Beside originating sub-band gap signatures…
This paper describes a simple and general method for deriving the inelastic collision term in the electron Boltzmann equation for scattering from a coupled electron-phonon system, and applies the method to the case of doped polar…
We propose a first-principle method for evaluations of the time-dependent electron distribution function of excited electrons in the conduction band of semiconductors. The method takes into account the excitations of electrons by external…
We use the dynamical mean field theory to develop a systematic and computationally tractable method for studying electron-phonon interactions in systems with arbitrary electronic correlations. The method is formulated as an adiabatic…
We investigate an energy flow in an extended Holstein model describing electron systems coupled to hot-phonons and heat-bath phonons. To analyze the relaxation process after the photo-excitation of electrons, we employ the nonequilibrium…
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…
Electron injection from an adsorbed molecule to the substrate (heterogeneous electron transfer) is studied. One reaction coordinate is used to model this process. The surface phonons and/or the electron-hole pairs together with the internal…
We show that the coupling to vibrational degrees of freedom can drive a semimetal excitonic-insulator quantum phase transition in an one-dimensional two-band f-c electron system at zero temperature. The insulating state typifies an…
We investigate electronic distributions in nonequilibrium tunnel junctions subject to a high voltage bias $V$ under competing electron-electron and electron-phonon relaxation processes. We derive conditions for reaching quasi-equilibrium…
For a one-dimensional electron-phonon system we consider the photon absorption involving electronic excitations within the pseudogap energy range. In the framework of the adiabatic approximation for the electron - phonon interactions these…
A semiempirical theory for the excitation and subsequent relaxation of nonthermal electrons is described. The theory, which is applicable to ultrafast-laser excited metals, is based on the Boltzmann transport equation for the carrier…
An excitonic insulator phase is expected to arise from the spontaneous formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors where the exciton binding energy exceeds the size of the electronic band gap. At low temperature, these…
Electron-electron thermalization and electron-phonon relaxation processes in laser-excited solids are often assumed to occur on different timescales. This is true for the majority of the conduction band electrons in a metal. However,…
