Abstract
Inter-and intra-band relaxation are essentially important for the nonequilibrium dynamics of hot carriers in semiconductors in the ultrafast time region. These processes have been investigated by time-resolved absorption or luminescence spectroscopy which are based on the sub-picosecond pump-probe technique. In this paper, we present the first, to our knowledge, time-resolved intervalence band Raman scattering (TRIVRS) measurements in germanium and we discuss the thermalization and cooling process of hot holes.
