... laser heating electronic band structure Fermi smearing two temperature model The well known two temperature model (TTM) ( 10 ), which describes the rate of energy transfer from a hot, thermalized electron system to a cooler phonon system, has been used to predict temperature changes and deduce...

... with calculations of thermophysical properties using exact ab initio calculations for electronic band structure ( 29 ). The key to evaluating C e ( T e ) and G ( T e ) lies in determining μ ( T e ) , which, when only considering intraband transitions, can...
