Abstract
A theory of electron relaxation for electron gases in semiconductor quantum well structures and at semiconductor surfaces is presented. The electron relaxation is described by quantum-kinetic equations. In the nonlinear optical response of a two dimensional electron gas in a GaN quantum well, polaronic signatures are clearly enhanced compared to the linear response, if the pump pulse is tuned to the polaron energy. For the phonon-induced electron relaxation at Si (001) surface structures, the interplay of bulk and surface states yields a complex temporal relaxation dynamics depending on the slab thickness.
