These measurements provide fundamental insight into carrier-phonon interactions in semiconductors. Unexpectedly large differences are found in the energy-loss rates for electrons and holes in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. This large difference results from an anomalously low electron-energy-loss rate, which we attribute to the presence of nonequilibrium optical phonons rather than the effects of reduced dimensionality or dynamic screening.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=633), last updated on Mon, 24 May 2021 14:34:18 -0500" }
