Abstract
The time and temperature dependence of the photoinduced absorption spectra was measured in glow-discharge a-Si : H in the energy range 0.7 to 1.4 eV, temperature interval 10 to 306K and time domain 2 µs to 2 ms. The results are consistent with a model based on thermalization of excess carriers in trap states.
