Interrelation between the photo-induced shift of the optical band gap and Urbach/exponential edge slope in a- Se
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A simple correlation has been found between photo-induced changes in the optical band gap and slope of both the Tauc edge and Urbach edge. The kinetics of all the photo-induced changes observed follow a stretched exponential.
