备注

基于飞秒脉冲激光器的时间分辨超快光谱技术已经广泛应用于研究光与物质相互作用、激发态性质、超快动力学等光物理现象,其中瞬态反射光谱是研究固体表界面电荷动力学的有力工具之一.本文总结了瞬态反射光谱分析3类常见的半导体表界面(直接带隙半导体表界面、间接带隙半导体表界面和存在内建电场的半导体表界面)载流子动力学的方法; 分析了前两类半导体表界面瞬态反射光谱特征信号归属,讨论了利用特征光谱信号表征扩散、表面复合、界面电荷转移等动力学过程的原理; 讨论了高掺杂半导体表界面如果存在内建电场的情况下表面反射光谱特征信号的归属,以及如何利用光诱导瞬态电场对反射光谱调制来追踪界面电荷分离和复合的动力学.

The femtosecond ultrafast spectroscopies are widely exploited to investigate photophysical properties,such as light-matter interaction,excited state,ultrafast dynamics,etc.Among these spectroscopic techniques,the transient reflection is especially powerful one for the studies of the photocarrier dynamics at the surfaces and interfaces.In this review article,three analysis methods of transient reflection spectroscopy are summarized,including the transient reflection at the surfaces of the direct bandgap and indirect bandgap semiconductors as well as the heterojunctions with a built-in electric field.Based on the assignment of the transient reflection spectral features,the extraction of the dynamic information regarding the carrier diffusion,surface recombination and interfacial charge transfer are discussed.This review also discusses transient photoreflectance signals arising from the modulation of the photo-induced transient electric field in the presence of the built-in electric field,which has been demonstrated as an effective probe to monitor the interfacial charge separation and recombination.
