Popis: Relaxation of minority electrons in carbon‐doped GaAs with hole concentrations as high as 6×1019 cm−3 is measured with femtosecond optical techniques. The relaxation of photoexcited electrons depends strongly on the doping level above 1019 cm−3. The dependence of the transient absorption and reflectivity on the hole concentration indicates that electrons relax rapidly by electron‐hole scattering into low‐energy states which are available as a result of band‐gap renormalization and band tailing.
