Abstract

Electron transport and phonon dynamics in a GaAs-based p-i-n nanostructure under the application of an electric field have been studied by time-resolved Raman spectroscopy at T = 80 K. The time-evolution of electron density, electron distribution, electron drift velocity, and LO phonon population has been directly measured with subpicosecond time resolution. Our experimental results show that, for a photoexcited electron-hole pair density of n ≅ 10 17cm -3, the effects of the drifting of electrons and electron intervalley scattering processes govern electron transport properties as well as the LO phonon dynamics. All of the experimental results are compared with ensemble Monte Carlo simulations and satisfatory agreement is obtained.
