Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Charge-carrier dynamics of nitrogen-doped tantalum oxide powder and tantalum nitride powder was studied by femtosecond time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. In the case of nitrogen-doped tantalum oxide, it was revealed that the transient absorption signal decreased by trapping of oxygen vacancies in several hundreds of picoseconds, and the decay was higher by using the excitation light with longer wavelength. For tantalum nitride, it was revealed that the transient absorption signal decreased by carrier recombination in several tens of picoseconds, and the decay was slower by using the excitation light with longer wavelength.
