摘要
Experimental evidence for field-induced enhancement of non-geminate, i.e. distant-pair (DP), recombination and shortening of the DP lifetime, tau D, by almost two orders of magnitude, is given for undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) subjected to a strong electric Field, F, up to 100kVcm(-1) at a temperature T= 3.7 K. The interplay between the T- and F-dependences of the lifetime tau D is interpreted on the basis of the effective-temperature theory developed for the high-field hopping transport of charge carriers in disordered materials at low T. The results indicate that the DP recombination event is closely connected to transport phenomena in a-Si:H.
