TEMPORAL DECAY OF THE OPTICALLY INDUCED PROPERTIES OF A SMALL-POLARONIC SOLID
D. EminSandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185, U.S.A.
Abstract
The essential physics of the photoluminescence of a small-polaronic solid (one in which electrons, holes and excitons all find it energetically favorable to self-trap) is described. Emphasis is placed on the dependence of the decay rates associated with the various luminescence bands on excitation energy and temperature. The results are in general accord with observations on chalcogenide glasses.
