Abstract
Femtosecond studies have been performed to investigate the scattering and energy relaxation of hot electrons in thin film semiconductors and metals. In both cases nonequilibrium carrier distributions are observed to remain for several picoseconds following ultrashort optical pulse excitation. In metals, during this nonequilibrium period, ultrafast transport has been measured directly.
