研究目的
Investigating the ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited carriers in β-Ga2O3 using two-color optical pump-probe spectroscopy to understand carrier recombination via defect-assisted processes.
研究成果
The study provides insights into the mechanisms and rates of carrier capture by defects in β-Ga2O3, highlighting a temperature-independent electron capture rate and a temperature-dependent hole capture rate. The findings are significant for the development of high-voltage and high-speed transistors and photodetectors based on β-Ga2O3.
研究不足
The study is limited to the dynamics occurring within approximately 1 ns due to the maximum pump-probe delay limited by the mechanical delay stage. The model assumes midgap defect states are well separated in energy from band edges, ignoring carrier emission from defects.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A two-color optical pump-probe spectroscopy setup was used to photoexcite carriers in β-Ga2O3 via a two-photon absorption process and probe the subsequent dynamics using free-carrier absorption of a near-IR probe pulse.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Bulk β-Ga2O3 samples, grown by the edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) technique, were used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Ti:Sapphire laser for generating pump and probe pulses, mechanical delay stage, and lock-in detection for measuring differential transmission.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Pump and probe beams were collinearly aligned and linearly polarized at different angles with respect to the crystal axes. The dynamics of photoexcited carriers were recorded as a function of probe delay from the pump.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
A rate equation model for electron and hole capture by defects was developed to analyze the data.
