Abstract

Transient photoconductivity can provide extensive information concerning the characteristics and energy distribution (g(E) ) of trapping centres in disordered solids. In this paper, we use both pre-transit (extraction free) and post-transit current decays, from the TOF experiment, to probe g(E) in a-Si:H of intentionally reduced quality.
