Microscopic origins of the terahertz carrier relaxation and cooling dynamics in graphene

Design of high-speed graphene-based devices relies on understanding of its ultrafast carrier dynamics. Here, the authors combine time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy and microscopic modelling to unveil the interplay between the scattering mechanisms dominating the ultrafast relaxation pathways in gr...
