Abstract
The generation and recombination kinetics of non-equilibrium charge carriers under illumination is studied in order to obtain the temperature and intensity dependence of the steady state energy distribution of photo-induced carriers in the range of energies contributing to the electrical transport. The results are applied to a model of transport in amorphous solids developed previously. Comparison with experimental data on photo-conductivity of glow-discharge silicon provides further support for this model.
