▎ 摘  要

Using transient absorption (TA) microscopy as a hot electron thermometer, we show that disorder-assisted acoustic-phonon supercollisions (SCs) best describe the rate-imiting relaxation step in graphene over a wide range of lattice temperatures (T-1 = 5-300 K), Fermi energies (E-F = +/- 0.35 eV), and optical probe energies (similar to 0.3-1.1 eV). Comparison with simultaneously collected transient photocurrent, an independent hot electron thermometer, confirms that the rate-limiting optical and electrical response in graphene are best described by the SC-heat dissipation rate model, H = A(T-e(3) - T-1(3)). Our data further show that the electron cooling rate in substrate-supported graphene is twice as fast as in suspended graphene sheets, consistent with SC model prediction for disorder.
