摘要
In2S3 thin films were deposited onto soda lime glass substrates using thermal evaporation technique at a constant substrate temperature of 300 degrees C and the films were annealed in a sulfur ambient at 250 degrees C and 300 degrees C for 1 h. Light induced transient grating (LITG) technique was used to determine the carrier lifetime in In2S3 thin films. The determined carrier lifetime values for different excitation energy densities, I-0 = 0.06-1.64 mJ/cm(2) decreased from 206 to 18 ps and 150 to 14 ps for the films annealed at 250 degrees C and 300 degrees C respectively. Further, the bimolecular, Auger recombination coefficients and diffusion coefficient were determined in the films. The observed bimolecular carrier recombination origin was explained by interface and Auger recombination processes.
