Abstract

Ultrafast surface excitation of metals results in a transient nonequilibrium in the temperatures of electrons and lattice. Electrons thermalize rapidly via electron-electron scattering while electron-phonon scattering is expected to take more than 100 fs. Experimental techniques used to study the electron cooling dynamics include thermally assisted photoemission,1 thermal modulation of the optical conslants,2 and multishot optical damage.3
