| Description |
Thermalization of photogenerated hot carriers in a-Si, a-Si:H and a-Si:H:F was studied using the pump and probe method with subpicosecond resolution. The process is optically observable because the absorption cross-section of the hot carriers depends on their excess energy. It was found that the energy dissipation rate to phonons is the maximum possible in a-Si while in a-Si:H it is slower and can be described by Frohlich interaction with polar phonons. |
