Electron transient transport in an -based nanostructure under the application of an electric field has been studied by time-resolved Raman spectroscopy on a subpicosecond time scale and at . The experimental results reveal the time evolution of the electron distribution function and electron drift velocity with subpicosecond time resolution. These experimental results are compared with those of both InP-based and GaAs-based nanostructures and provide a consistent understanding and better insight of electron transient transport phenomena in semiconductors.
