Abstract
Hot-carrier Coulomb interactions, such as band-gap renormalization (BGR) and plasma screening of electron-hole interactions, have been studied thoroughly under equilibrium conditions.1 By comparison, there are few studies of the dynamics of Coulomb interactions. Shank et al. measured the dynamics of band-edge absorption with 0.5-ps resolution,2 and, more recently, Gong and coworkers studied the band-edge dynamics with 75-fs pulses.3 In each case BGR occurred on a time scale shorter than the experimental resolution.
