Abstract

A femtosecond pump-probe setup was used to measure the time resolved reflectivity of hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing crystalline silicon nanoparticles at eight different incidence angles. Results fitted with the Drude model found a scattering rate of G = 2_-1^+1.2×10¹⁵?s^-1 at a corresponding carrier concentration of ~ 10²⁰?cm^-3. The observed scattering rate is attributed to enhanced carrier-carrier interaction in optically pumped nanocrystals.
