Abstract

en

Concomitant simultaneous investigations of both, photoluminescence (PL) and photoconductivity (PC) decay from steady-state levels are carried out for the first time under the same conditions for the same a-Si:H samples. It is found that there is no competition between radiative and non-radiative recombination channels for excess carriers. A general model of tunnel distant-pair recombination based on the experimental data is proposed for explanation of both, PL and PC.
