The temperature and the Fermi energy of electron were determined by fitting best the constructed time‐resolved spectrum to the observed, and the time‐dependent electron energy was obtained by using these parameters. The energy‐loss rates of hot electrons are at least twice smaller than the calculated ones induced by the electron‐polar phonon scattering, including the screening effect due to the high carrier density. %K 2DEG %K GaAs/AlGaAs %K heat flow %K electron-phonon %K hole-phonon %K carrier-phonon %K interactions %P 1010-1016
