Title Optical studies of excess carrier recombination in α-Si:H: evidence of dispersive diffusion
Date 1980-05
Description Relaxation of photoinduced optical absorption following pulsed laser excitation was measured between 0.5 pis and 10 ms in doped and undoped a-Si:H as a function of temperature. The recombination was found to be bimolecular diffusion limited. The diffusion coefficient of the excess carriers is time dependent (~t-°3 ) in agreement with the drift mobility of photocarriers and the predictions of the continuous-time random-walk theory of dispersive transport in disordered materials.
