  • Abstract
    By using terahertz technique, the terahertz waveforms emitted from intrinsic bulk GaAs photoexcited by femtosecond laser were recorded. From the temperature dependence of nonequiliburm transport time, τε, we find τε is governed by the polar scattering process of electrons in Γ valley via longitudinal optical phonon emissions.
