Photoexcited carrier relaxation and localization in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1{minus}{ital y}}Y{sub {ital y}}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8} and YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}}: A study by femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy

Journal Article Thomas, T N ; Stevens, C J ; Choudhary, A J ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

Ultrafast time-resolved optical absorption has been measured as a function of doping and temperature in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1{minus}{ital y}}Y{sub {ital y}}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8} (0{lt}{ital y}{lt}1) and YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} (0.06 {lt}{delta} {lt}1). A fast transient response is observed, which changes sign as a function of {ital y} in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}Ca{sub 1{minus}{ital y}}Y{sub {ital y}}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 8} and {delta} in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}}. Careful consideration of the possible mechanisms for the observed behavior leads us to suggest that two independent mechanisms are operating, whereby the two observed positive photoinduced absorption components are due to the electrodynamic responsemore »« less

Dynamics of photoexcited carrier relaxation and recombination in CdTe/CdS thin films

Conference Levi, D H ; Fluegel, B D ; Ahrenkiel, R K ; ...

Efficiency-limiting defects in photovoltaic devices are readily probed by time-resolved spectroscopy. This paper presents the first direct optical measurements of the relaxation and recombination pathways of photoexcited carriers in the CdS window layer of CdTe/CdS polycrystalline thin films. Femtosecond time-resolved pump/probe measurements indicate the possible existence of a two-phase CdS/CdSTe layer, rather than a continuously graded alloy layer at the CdTe/CdS interface. Complementary time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements show that the photoexcited carriers are rapidly captured by deep-level defects. The temporal and density-dependent properties of the photoluminescence prove that the large Stokes shift of the PL relative to the band edgemore »« less

Photoexcited carrier relaxation in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} by picosecond resonant Raman spectroscopy

Journal Article Mertelj, T ; Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Jadranska 19, 1000 Ljubljana ; Demsar, J ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The temperature dependence of the energy relaxation of photoexcited (PE) carriers is used as a probe of the electronic structure of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} in the insulating ({delta}{approx}0.8) and metallic ({delta}{approx}0.1) phases. The energy relaxation rate to phonons is obtained by measuring the nonequilibrium phonon occupation number, n{sub neq}, with pulsed Raman Stokes/anti-Stokes spectroscopy using 1.5 and 70 ps long laser pulses. We can distinguish between relaxation via extended band states and localized states, since theoretically in the former, the relaxation is expected to be virtually T independent, while in the latter it is strongly T dependent.

Hot carrier and hot phonon coupling during ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited electrons in graphene

Journal Article Iglesias, J. M. ; Martín, M. J. ; Pascual, E. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We study, by means of a Monte Carlo simulator, the hot phonon effect on the relaxation dynamics in photoexcited graphene and its quantitative impact as compared with considering an equilibrium phonon distribution. Our multi-particle approach indicates that neglecting the hot phonon effect significantly underestimates the relaxation times in photoexcited graphene. The hot phonon effect is more important for a higher energy of the excitation pulse and photocarrier densities between 1 and 3 × 10{sup 12 }cm{sup −2}. Acoustic intervalley phonons play a non-negligible role, and emitted phonons with wavelengths limited up by a maximum (determined by the carrier concentration) induce a slower carriermore »« less
