Hot Carrier and Surface Recombination Dynamics in Layered InSe Crystals
摘要： Layered indium selenide (InSe) is a van der Waals solid that has emerged as a promising material for high-performance ultrathin solar cells. The optoelectronic parameters that are critical to photoconversion efficiencies, such as hot carrier lifetime and surface recombination velocity, are however largely unexplored in InSe. Here, these key photophysical properties of layered InSe are measured with femtosecond transient reflection spectroscopy. The hot carrier cooling process is found to occur through phonon scattering. The surface recombination velocity and ambipolar diffusion coefficient are extracted from fits to the pump energy-dependent transient reflection kinetics using a free carrier diffusion model. The extracted surface recombination velocity is approximately an order of magnitude larger than that for methylammonium lead-iodide perovskites, suggesting that surface recombination is a principal source of photocarrier loss in InSe. The extracted ambipolar diffusion coefficient is consistent with previously reported values of InSe carrier mobility.

Hot carrier dynamics in a dispersionless plasmonic system
摘要： Hot carrier dynamics in a broadband, dispersionless, plasmonic structure are studied using pump-probe measurements with 45 fs time resolution. The results obtained by simultaneous measurement of differential transmittance and reflectance show the influence of pump generated carriers on the probe generated plasmons. The dependence of decay time on the pump fluence is linear for the interband and intraband carrier excitation near the L-symmetry point in gold. However, 1.908 eV pump excitation, which allows both interband transition at the X-symmetry point and intraband excitation at the L-symmetry point, shows quadratic dependence of decay time on the pump fluence. Degenerate pump-probe measurements at 1.55 eV, which allow L-valley intraband excitations, highlight the difference in surface (reflection) and the bulk (transmission) mechanisms. Hot carrier relaxation time is in the 1–3 ps range for different excitation energies. Rise time, governed by the plasmon to hot carrier conversion and electron-electron scattering processes, is about 200 ± 35 fs for the hot carrier and hot plasmon excitation cases that increased to about 485 ± 35 fs when the pump is resonant with the interband transition at the X-symmetry point. Results show that the hot carrier dynamics are governed by the bulk metal band structure. The dipole matrix element for each of the transitions is estimated by density matrix calculations.
