Light scattering from conduction electrons (or from valence holes) can give information on the time-resolved velocity distribution of nonequilibrium carriers. The experimental approach utilizes, e.g., Raman scattering from the single particles to ascertain the velocity distribution. Calculation of the distribution function through an ensemble Monte Carlo technique allows a comparison between the experiment and theory. Here, this is demonstrated with studies of a GaAs p-i-n structure embedded within cladding AlAs layers. The calculations are compared with experimental results that have recently been published on the same structure. For time scales of several hundred femtoseconds, the hot carrier transport that is probed by the single-particle Raman scattering is dominated by the transport in the Gamma valley, and overshoot velocities 4-5 x 10(5) cm/sec are observed.

Dielectric screening effects on electron transport in Ga0.51In0.49P/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum wells Beşikci, Cengiz; Tanatar, B (2000-08-01) The effects of dielectric screening on the two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering and on electron transport in Ga0.51In0.49P/InxGa1-xAs/GaAs (x=0, 0.15, and 0.25) modulation doped heterostructures and high electron mobility transistors are investigated through the ensemble Monte Carlo technique. The two dimensional polar optical phonon scattering rates including and excluding dielectric screening effects are calculated using the self-consistently evaluated electronic states in the quantum well. The...
Nonlinear Seebeck and Peltier effects in quantum point contacts Çipiloğlu, Mustafa A; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2004-09-01) The charge and entropy currents across a quantum point contact are expanded as a series in powers of the applied bias voltage and the temperature difference. After that, the expansions of the Seebeck voltage in temperature difference and the Peltier heat in current are obtained. With a suitable choice of the average temperature and chemical potential, the lowest order nonlinear term in both cases appear to be of third order. The behavior of the third-order coefficients in both cases are then investigated fo...
Plasmon lifetime enhancement in a bright-dark mode coupled system Yildiz, Bilge Can; Bek, Alpan; TAŞGIN, MEHMET EMRE (2020-01-16) Metallic nanoparticles can localize the incident light to hot spots as plasmon oscillations, where the intensity can be enhanced by up to four orders of magnitude. Even though the lifetime of plasmons is typically short, it can be increased via interactions with quantum emitters, e.g., spaser nanolasers. However, molecules can bleach in days. Here, we study the lifetime enhancement of plasmon excitations due to the coupling with longer-lifetime dark plasmon modes. We apply an analytical model based on harmo...
Electronic properties of a large quantum dot at a finite temperature Gulveren, B; Atav, U; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) The physical properties of a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot composed of large number of interacting electrons are numerically determined by the Thomas Fermi (TF) method at a finite temperature. Analytical solutions are given for zero temperature for comparative purposes. The exact solution of the TF equation is obtained for the non-interacting system at finite temperatures. The effect of the number of particles and temperature on the properties are investigated both for interacting and non-interactin...
ELECTRON POLARIZATION IN A PARABOLIC QUANTUM-WELL WITH UNIFORM ELECTRIC-FIELD ILAIWI, KF; Tomak, Mehmet (1991-01-01) The polarization of a quantum electron confined in a parabolic quantum well in the presence of a uniform electric field is calculated numerically. We find positive polarization for both ground and the first excited states.
