Electron-Phonon Temperature Inversion in Nanostructures under Pulsed Photoexcitation
Qian Ye, Stephen K. Sanders, Andrea Schirato +1
Photoexcitation of metallic nanostructures with short optical pulses can drive non-thermal electronic states, which, upon decay, lead to elevated electronic temperatures ($T_e \gtr…
