Abstract

The ultrafast thermalization of nonequilibrium carriers in semiconductors, i.e. the relaxation to a Fermi-like distribution, has mainly been investigated by femtosecond absorption and luminescence studies of photoexcited electron-hole plasma. In this paper, we present the first time resolved observation of thermalization in a single component plasma, providing specific insight into the subpicosecond dynamics of holes in p-type germanium.
