Notes:
We report the measurement of intervalley scattering rates for optically excited carriers in GaAs. The measurements were performed using optical pulses of 6 fs duration and an energy distribution centered at 2.0 eV. The average rates for Γ→X and Γ→L intervalley scattering were separately estimated by varying the sample temperature.
