摘要

We revisit pump-probe transient reflectivity (PPTR) as a probe of ultrafast carrier dynamics in photoconductive materials, using low-temperature grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) as an exemplar. The carrier dynamics in a series of annealed LT-GaAs wafers were measured by PPTR. The wafer growth and anneal conditions were tailored to produce a material system with a sub-picosecond carrier lifetime. The PPTR signals from these wafers are bipolar with time constants on the order of 100 fs and 1 ps, consistent with previous literature reports on LT-GaAs. We examined the utility of numerical simulations of the pump-probe transients described in [V. Ortiz et al., J. Appl. Phys. 102, 043515 (2007)] to model our experimental results. We discovered a discrepancy between the model's predictions and experiment with respect to the scaling of the PPTR response with injected carrier density, and show that this discrepancy is rooted in how the model accounts for the index of refraction change due to band filling (BF) and band gap renormalization (BGR). We demonstrate that any model that includes a non-negligible BGR effect is inconsistent with our experimental observations of LT-GaAs. We present a revised model to simulate PPTR signals that account for BF and incorporate optical absorption from mid-gap states. This model can reproduce the experimental results on LT-GaAs and enables comparative assessments of alternate trapping and recombination hypotheses. For LT-GaAs, we compared point defects and nanoparticles as sites for Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, with the result that nanoparticle trapping and recombination centers most accurately reproduce the PPTR probe of carrier dynamics in LT-GaAs.
