M. Tonouchi et al., NOVEL DYNAMIC DIAGNOSIS OF FEMTOSECOND TIME-TRANSIENT NONEQUILIBRIUM STATE IN OPTICALLY-EXCITED YBCO THIN-FILMS, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 46, 1996, pp. 1095-1096
Terahertz emission from optically excited YBCO thin films has been int
erpreted in terms of a femtosecond time-transient quasiparticle dynami
cs. The analysis of the emission waveforms based on Rothwarf-Tailor ra
te equations suggested that quasiparticle recombination time and pair
breaking time are shorter than 1 ps and longer than 7 ps, respectively
, except near T-c.
