Abstract

Description

During the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in the rapidly growing field of the dynamics of {\it hot} carriers in metals. Here we present an overview of the recent achievements in the theoretical understanding of electron dynamics in metals, and focus on the theoretical description of the inelastic lifetime of excited hot electrons. We outline theoretical formulations of the hot-electron lifetime that is originated in the inelastic scattering of the excited {\it quasiparticle} with occupied states below the Fermi level of the solid. {\it First-principles} many-body calculations are reviewed. Related work and future directions are also addressed.
