Abstract
The density of localized gap states N(E) is calculated using a new scheme, which computes the charge density ρ (V) without explicit solution of Poisson's equation directly from the experimental field effect data avoiding fitting procedures and loops. - In a second step N(E) is computed from ρ (V) considering finite temperature statistics. This method is applied to measurements on undoped glow discharge deposited a-Si:H films. It is found that high temperature annealing as well as strong illumination raise the density of states near midgap by about one order of magnitude.
