Large size TlGaSe2 layered crystals
grown by Bridgman method have been investigated by x-ray
microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism of
excess free carrier recombination after a high level laser pulse
excitation performed in a high quality sample has been
investigated. It has been shown that, in high injection region,
the carrier lifetime is mainly determined by Auger recombination.
The Auger recombination coefficient is established to be about
1·10−29 cm6/s. In low injection region,
minority carrier trapping is observed. The longest exponential
majority carrier constant lifetime is equal to 6 ms at 70 K.
Keywords: layered chalcogenides, crystal stoichiometry,
carrier recombination, Auger recombination, carrier lifetime

Didelių matmenų TlGaSe2 kristalai,
išauginti Bridžmano būdu, buvo tiriami skenuojančiu mikroskopu ir
analizuojami antrinių rentgeno spindulių spektroskopijos metodu.
Perteklinių krūvininkų rekombinacija buvo tiriama žadinant lazerio
impulsu, matuojant laisvakrūvę sugerties relaksaciją. Parodyta,
kad didelės injekcijos atveju krūvininkų gyvavimo trukmę lemia Ožė
rekombinacijos mechanizmas. Gautas Ožė rekombinacijos koeficiento
dydis yra apie 10−29 cm6/s. Mažesnės
injekcijos srityje stebimas nepagrindinių krūvininkų prilipimas.
Ilgiausia pagrindinių krūvininkų eksponentinės relaksacijos trukmė
siekia 6 ms, kai T = 70 K.
