The response of the Fermi-Dirac distribution to ultrashort IR laser pulses has been studied by modelling the dynamics of the hot electrons after optical excitation. We disentangle a large increase of the effective temperature T* from a shift of the chemical potential mu*, which is consequence of the ultrafast photodoping of the conduction band. The relaxation dynamics of T* and mu* are k-independent and these two quantities uniquely define the evolution of the excited charge population. We observe that the energy dependence of the non-equilibrium charge population is solely determined by the analytical form of the effective Fermi-Dirac distribution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-12-14T14:55:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.47.jd", "78.30.-j", "79.60.-i", "73.20.-r" ], "keywords": [ "effective fermi-dirac distribution", "dirac particles", "ultrafast photodoping", "ultrashort ir laser pulses", "out-of-equilibrium electronic structure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Nov", "volume": 86, "number": 20, "pages": 205133 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86t5133C" } } }
