Abstract

Concomitant simultaneous investigations of both, photoluminescence (PL) and photoconductivity (PC) decay from steady‐state levels are carried out for the first time under the same conditions for the same a‐Si:H samples. It is found that there is no competition between radiative and non‐radiative recombination channels for excess carriers. A general model of tunnel distant‐pair recombination based on the experimental data is proposed for explanation of both, PL and PC.
