On the pathway of photoexcited electrons: probing photon-to-electron and photon-to-phonon conversions in silicon by ATR-IR
| Abstract | Photoexcitation and charge carrier thermalization inside semiconductorphotocatalysts are two important steps in solar fuel production. Here,photoexcitation and charge carrier thermalization in a silicon wafer arefor the first time probed by a novel, yet simple and user-friendlyAttenuated Total Reflectance Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) system. |
