Abstract

A detailed calculations of the evolution of nonequilibrium electron distributions excited within the subbands of a GaAs quantum well was performed through the numerical integration of the Boltzmann collision integrals. The electron-electron scattering process was studied and mediated through the dynamically-screened Coulomb interaction, which was evaluated using the full dynamic, multisubband dielectric function derived in the random phase approximation (RPA).
