Abstract

Hot electrons in Al0.6Ga0.4As were produced in the X6 valley from a photoexcited indirect transition by a 585-nm femtosecond pump pulse. The time evolution of the population of electrons in the bottom of the X6 alley was monitored by a femtosecond infrared probe pulse. The L6 X6 intervalley scattering time of 200 fs and the L6X6 intervalley deformation potential of 2.7×108 eV/cm were determined from the measured kinetic data.
