39. This excess energy is calculated taking into account both one and two photon absorption. Because the absorption is indirect (phonon-assisted) the hot holes and hot electrons are expected to equally share the excess energy.
40. The effects of band nonparabolicity are included in calculating the hot-carrier temperature from the excess carrier energy.

64. The theoretical carrier-carrier scattering rates have been calculated for a well defined carrier temperature. Obviously the carrier thermalization time must be somewhat longer than the carrier-carrier scattering rate, so that these calculations do not directly apply to the prethermalized state of the carriers. However, because the carrier distribution is nondegenerate, we do not expect the carrier-carrier scattering rates to depend significantly on the carrier distribution function for a given excess carrier energy.
