摘要
Photoluminescence in a-Si:H has been investigated using optical excitation energies E(x) varying from 1.27 to 2.0 eV. At low temperatures (T < 100 K) a strong dependence of both the radiative quantum efficiency and the energy distributions of photoexcited carriers on E(x) has been observed for E(x) < 1.65 eV. At higher temperatures (T > 200 K), the dependence of the energy distribution of carriers on E(x) disappears within a narrow interval of temperature. A model of phonon-assisted absorption is proposed to account for the experimental results.
