Ultrafast Dissipative Localization of Electronic Energy in AuPt Superlattices

C. Walz, M. Mattern, J. -E. Pudell +15

Controlling the spatial distribution of absorbed optical energy is central to nanoscale photothermal chemistry, plasmonics, and ultrafast materials control. Here, we show that a me…

Experimental evidence of dominant ultrafast diffusive energy transport by hot electrons in Cu

Jasmin Jarecki, Lisa Mehner, Maximilian Mattern +15

When the dimensions of structures shrink to the order of the inelastic mean free path of the energy-carrying quasi-particles, the character of energy transport changes from diffusi…
