Extracting the key electrical properties of semiconductors using optical pump terahertz probe spectroscopy

We have used optical-pump-terahertz-probe spectroscopy (OPTPS) to study a range of novel of semiconductors including III-V nanowires and metal halide perovskites. We show that OPTPs allows key figures of merit to be extracted in a non-contact manner, including charge mobility, surface recombination...
