Excitation of a biased GaAs-Au Schottky barrier sample by intense fs laser pulses leads to coherent oscillations that are probed by time-resolved second harmonic generation experiments. The observed oscillations agree very well with the results of MC simulations and appear to be plasma oscillations modified by surface phonons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
