Electron thermalization in gold
Abstract
We report the direct observation of the thermalization of electrons in gold following 180 fs optical pulse excitation. The evolution of the electron energy distribution from the nascent (as photoexcited) to a hot Fermi-Dirac distribution was measured by time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Depending on the excitation density, thermalization times as long as \ensuremath{\approxeq}1 ps were observed. A model incorporating both electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering, and using Fermi-liquid theory to properly account for screening is found to reproduce the main features of the experiment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
