摘要
We determine both the lifetime and the mobility of photoexcited charge carriers in Sn2P2S6 using holographic time of flight in diffusion mode. From the build-up dynamics of space charge gratings created by pulsed interband illumination at 532 nm, we find a charge carrier lifetime of 2.6 +/- 0.5 ns and a charge carrier mobility along the x-axis of 2.4 +/- 0.6 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) at room temperature. This mobility is assigned to holes as more mobile carriers in tin hypothiodiphosphate (SPS), and it is found to decrease for decreasing temperature, a behavior consistent with small-polaron hopping.
