Impact of Auger processes on carrier dynamics in graphene    [PDF]

Torben Winzer, Ermin Malic
The linear, gapless bandstructure of graphene provides ideal conditions for Auger processes. They are of great importance for fundamental research and technological applications, since they qualitatively change the carrier dynamics. Time-, momentum-, and angle-resolved microscopic calculations reveal an efficient impact excitation giving rise to a significant multiplication of optically excited carriers and a remarkable Coulomb- induced carrier cooling effect. We present an analytic expression for the carrier multiplication predicting ideal conditions for its still missing experimental observation.
