General Principles for the Nonequilibrium Relaxation of Populations in Quantum Materials
We examine the problem of how excited populations of electrons relax after they have been excited by a pump. We include three of the most important relaxation processes: (i) impurity scattering, (ii) Coulomb scattering, and (iii) electron-phonon scattering. The relaxation of an excited population of...
