Power Density and Its Distribution between the Different Channels

Caption

Power densities going into the thermal electron and lattice systems (We-e in green diamonds and We-ph in orange triangles, respectively), compared with the power going to the non-thermal electrons (\(W_{ex}^{NT}\) in blue squares), all as a function of the local field. The power fraction that flows into the thermal channels (i.e. to heat the systems) is substantially larger than that going into generating non-thermal electrons.
