The approach is based on the semiconductor Bloch equations and includes light-field-induced intraband and interband excitations, excitonic effects, and carrier–LO-phonon and carrier-carrier scattering processes. The relaxation effects are treated both in the second Born-Markov approximation and on the level of quantum kinetic theory including memory effects. The dynamics of the charge and spin currents is evaluated numerically for a one-dimensional model system. The dependence of the currents and their decay on the temperature, the excitation intensities, and the frequencies of the incident light fields is discussed. Whereas the overall decay dynamics is described well within the Markov approximation, the quantum kinetic theory predicts additional oscillatory signatures in the current transients. AU - Duc, H. T.

In this paper, the corresponding ultrafast nonlinearities for off-resonant and resonant intersubband excitations are investigated. Quantum kinetic effects of the electron-phonon interaction and the corresponding violation of the microscopic energy conservation yield a qualitative different picture compared to the standard Markovian theory, if the phonon energy is larger than the intersubband-gap energy.

The equations of motion for the electronic occupations and transitions include the interaction with arbitrary optical fields as well as the electron-phonon coupling. Model wave functions are used to qualitatively describe the bulk-surface dynamics and the subsequent time resolved two-photon photoemission s2PPEd spectra. Our results suggest that it is possible to extract energetic and temporal information of the underlying dynamical occupations of the intermediate states from the 2PPE spectra. AU - Zeiser, A.

To analyze such effects, a microscopic theory is presented, which is capable of describing the optoelectronic properties of such hybrid systems via a self-consistent solution of the dynamics of the optical field and the photoexcitations of the material. The theory is applied to investigate the local excitonic resonances, which arise as a consequence of the modified Coulomb interaction in the vicinity of a structured dielectric medium. The excitation of a coherent superposition of the spatially inhomogeneous optical transitions induces an intricate wave packet dynamics. In the presence of dephasing and relaxation processes, the coherent oscillations are damped and the photoexcited carriers relax into spatially inhomogeneous quasi-equilibrium distributions.
