Abstract

Dual beam photoconductivity with bandgap primary light and hv = 0.4- 0.6eV infrared light steps was measured with Ims time resolution in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) at 4.2K. The results can be described by assuming that the photocurrent transients are due to energy-loss hopping of photocarriers and that the infrared light promotes recombination by reexciting photocarriers thereby enhancing the probability of tunneling recombination.
