Area of Science:

Materials Science
Solid-State Physics
Semiconductor Physics

Background:

Defects significantly influence material properties by altering electronic structures and carrier dynamics.
Research has primarily focused on nonstoichiometric defects, leaving the impact of high-density defects on semiconductor carrier dynamics underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the carrier relaxation dynamics in highly defective semiconductor materials.
To elucidate the role of high-density defects in mediating carrier behavior.

Main Methods:

Transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to probe carrier dynamics.
A diffusion-controlled carrier dynamic model was developed and utilized for analysis.

Main Results:

Observed a novel hybrid carrier relaxation dynamics in highly defective ZnO crystals for the first time.
Identified a characteristic Poisson-like retard shoulder in the time-domain profile.
Attributed the observed dynamics to spectral diffusion within continuum defect states.

Conclusions:

Highly defective crystals possess an alternative energy decay channel.
The findings provide new insights into carrier dynamics in the presence of high defect densities.
This work may pave the way for novel defect engineering strategies in semiconductors.
