AbstractTransient photoconductivity measurements with the time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) method have been applied to three different types of semiconductors: hydrogenated amorphous silicon, single crystalline silicon and GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum well structures. Analysis of the signals in terms of charge carrier-lattice interaction points to an intimate relation between TRMC signals and intrinsic material properties. It is shown that the TRMC-technique is an excellent tool to characterize photosensitive materials.

The presence of piezoelectric fields within p-i-n GaN/InGaN multiple quantum well structures is discussed. Time integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements and theoretical calculations of the effect of these fields is presented. Furthermore, a description of how these fields influence the carrier dynamics and a discussion of how the piezoelectric field effects the design of GaN/InGaN devices is presented.

Recent experimental results obtained from time-resolved Raman studies in GaAs-AlAs and GaAs-Al x Ga 1−x As multiple quantum well structures are reviewed. Particular emphasis is made on (1) electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions and their association with the hot-phonon effects in the hot-carrier dynamics of multiple quantum well structures; and (2) the transport properties of photoexcited electron-hole plasma and excitons in semiconductor multiple quantum well structures.
