摘要
The trap-controlled model of H diffusion that underpins the H collision model of amorphous silicon metastability provides new insight into thermal and light-enhanced H diffusion in a-Si:H. The longstanding puzzle of the linear DB-dependence of diffusion coefficient with doping is resolved. Expressions for the light-induced H diffusion coefficient are derived with and without D-for-H exchange reactions. It is shown that D-for-H exchange does not affect the long-time diffusion coefficient that is measured under illumination.
