Thermalization of Optically Excited Fermi Systems: Electron-Electron Collisions in Solid Metals
Stephanie Roden, Christopher Seibel, Tobias Held +3
Ultrafast optical excitation of metals induces a non-equilibrium energy distribution in the electronic system, with a characteristic step-structure determined by Pauli blocking. On…

Probing the atomic dynamics of ultrafast melting with femtosecond electron diffraction
M. Z. Mo, M. B. Maigler, T. Held +12
Melting is an everyday phase transition that is determined by thermodynamic parameters like temperature and pressure. In contrast, ultrafast melting is governed by the microscopic…

Capturing non-equilibrium electron dynamics in metals accurately and efficiently
M. Uehlein, H. T. Snowden, C. Seibel +4
The simulation of non-equilibrium electron distributions is essential for capturing light-metal interactions and therefore the study of photoabsorption, photocatalysis, laser ablat…
