Abstract
We present the analysis of linear and nonlinear optical properties of gallium selenide (GaSe) films measured by means of pump and probe technique. GaSe films with different thickness were obtained by mechanical exfoliation approach. The exciton transition bleaching was observed under excitation of 10 ns pulses centered at 360 nm and 540 nm, which was explained by the exciton phase space filling effect. The main mechanisms of recombination of excited charge carriers at room temperature were established and their kinetic properties were studied. Three bands were identified within the measured photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaSe films. The detuning of the maxima of these PL bands was shown to be stable across different samples, different excitation energies, and different excitation wavelengths. This consistency of relative peak positions indicates their physical nature. We were able to identify the contribution to PL signal from direct excitons, indirect excitons and electron-hole pairs with the participation of optical phonons. The theoretical model was proposed, which allowed to analyze electron, hole and exciton kinetics measured by time-resolved PL.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
