摘要: The photoexcited carrier lifetimes in ex situ‐annealed low temperature growth GaAs are measured with a femtosecond transient absorption experiment. study encompassed two films approximately 0.3% and 0.9% excess arsenic incorporated during growth. observed found to be function of the spacing precipitates formed 30 s anneals temperatures between 650 1000 °C. lifetime for unannealed was less than ∼200 fs. increased from ∼2 ∼10 ps as average precipitate ∼400 ∼900 A. These results sharp contrast recent reports subpicosecond similar annealed at 600 °C.
