| Summary: | Optical-pump-terahertz-probe spectroscopy is a technique that can measure directly the conductivity of photoexcited carriers on a picosecond timescale. In this chapter, we introduce the technique and data analysis, and discuss suitable models of the interaction between terahertz radiation and quasiparticles in materials. We then review some recent studies of inorganic and organic semiconductors and nanomaterials. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013. |
