Dependence of recombination kinetics on photoexcitation density in a-Si:H

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5869013

Using pulsed excitation we observe a strong correlation between the recombination kinetics transition (monomolecular-to-bimolecular) and the optical absorption exponential (Urbach) edge. This correlation is observed over a wide range of Si dangling bond defect density in undoped, singly doped and compensated material. The results show that deep gap-states do not determine the excitation density at which the transition occurs. An important implication of these results is that deep gap-states do not play a major role in early recombination in a-Si:H.
