Nanosecond light induced, thermally tunable transient dual absorption bands in a-Ge5As30Se65 thin film

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this article, we report the first observation of nanosecond laser induced transient dual absorption bands, one in the bandgap (TA1) and another in the sub-bandgap (TA2) regions of a-Ge5As30Se65 thin films. Strikingly, these bands are thermally tunable and exhibit a unique contrasting characteristic: the magnitude of TA1 decreases while that of TA2 increases with increasing temperature. Further, the decay kinetics of these bands is strongly influenced by the temperature, which signifies a strong temperature-dependent exciton recombination mechanism. The induced absorption shows quadratic and the decay time constant shows linear dependence on the laser beam fluence.
