Overview of project B09

THz Dynamics of Photo-Excited Charge Carriers on the µm Scale

Mittendorff

The goal of this project is the investigation of non-equilibrium charge carrier dynamics in two-dimensional electron gases in different material systems: plasmonic graphene structures, black phosphorus, and oxide heterostructures will allow excitation by various stimuli, e.g. interband or plasmon excitation, and optical phonons driven by THz fields. THz pulses will be utilized to probe the carrier redistribution and relaxation with picosecond temporal and micrometer spatial resolution. The combined results will help to understand the different scattering processes after excitation.
