Role of hot electron scattering in epsilon-near-zero optical nonlinearity

The physical origin of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) optical nonlinearity lies in the hot-electron dynamics, in which electron scattering plays an important role. With the damping factor defined by hot electron scattering time, the Drude model could be extended to modeling ENZ optical nonlinearity complet...
