نبذة مختصرة : This work aims to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a silicon microstructure irradiated by picosecond-to-femtosecond ultrashort laser pulses from a microscopic point of view. Carrier-lattice nonequilibrium interactions are simulated with a set of governing equations for the carrier and lattice temperatures to obtain the time evolutions of the lattice temperatures, the carrier number densities, and carrier temperatures. In particular, the relaxation time for approaching the thermal equilibrium between carriers and lattices is introduced to estimate duration of the nonequilibrium state. An appropriate regime map to make a distinction between one-peak and two-peak structures is also established for picosecond laser pulses. It is noted that a substantial increase in carrier temperature is observed for pulse lasers of a few picoseconds duration, whereas the lattice temperature rise is relatively small with decreasing laser pulse widths. It is also found that the laser fluence significantly affec...
