This volume is devoted to different trends in the field which are presently at the forefront of research. Special attention is paid to the ultrafast relaxation processes in bulk semiconductors and two-dimensional semiconductor structures, and to their study by different spectroscopic methods, both pulsed and steady-state. The evolution of energy and space distribution of nonequilibrium electrons and the relaxation kinetics of hot carriers and phonons are considered under various conditions such as temperature, doping and pumping intensity by leading experts in the field.
Preface. 1. Monte Carlo calculation of hot electrons and hot phonons (P. Lugli). 2. Ultrafast luminescence spectroscopy of semiconductors: carrier relaxation, transport and tunneling (J. Shah). 3. Nonequilibrium phonons in semiconductors (J.A. Kash and J.C. Tsang). 4. The highly nonequilibrium hot-hole distributions in germaniums (A.A. Andronov). 5. Femtosecond processes in semiconductors (C.V. Shank and Ph. Becker). 6. Nonequilibrium electron transport (A.F.J. Levi and S. Schmitt-Rink). 7. Hot-electron photoluminescence under continuous-wave pumping (D.N. Mirlin and V.I. Perel'). 8. Fluctuation spectroscopy of hot electrons in semiconductors (V. Bareikis et al.). 9. Photoelectronic processes in semiconductors activated to negative electron affinity (C. Hermann et al.). Author index. Subject index. Cumulative index.
