Temperature Dependence of the Decay of Optically Excited Charge Carriers in Amorphous Silicon
We report the temperature dependence of the growth and decay of the optically induced electron spin resonance (LESR) on short and long time scales (10-3 s < t < 2500 s). This range of times spans the region betwe...

Recombination of Optically Excited Carriers in a-Si:H at Low temperatures and Intermediate Times
Optically induced electron spin resonance (LESR) studies on time scales in between the previously published PL and LESR results (approximately 10 ms to 10 s) allow one to examine the cross over between energy-...

Evolution of D0 and non-D0 Light Induced Defect States in a-Si:H Materials and Their Respective Contribution to Carrier Recombination
A study has been carried out on the evolution of light induced defects in protocrystalline (diluted) a-Si:H films under 1 sun illumination. A room temperature reversal is observed in the photocurrents at 25 °C...

Tritium Induced Defects in Amorphous Silicon
We report the growth of tritium induced defects in tritium doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H.T) as measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) and photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS). The measu...

Femtosecond Absorption Studies of Nonequilibrium Electronic Processes in High-Tc Superconductors
Femtosecond laser pulses are used to probe nonequilibrium carrier distributions in high-Tc superconducting films. An increase in the relaxation time and peak fractional transmissivity change was observed when the...

Ultrafast Optics Applied to Modern Device Research
We show that ultrafast optical techniques have made possible the direct investigation of basic nonstationary transport, i.e. velocity overshoot and resonant tunneling, which governs the operation of modern hig...
