Defect Kinetics: Light Induced Processes

This lecture covers the kinetics of light-induced defects in large area electronic materials, focusing on the creation, initial kinetics, long-term behavior, annealing, and stretched exponential kinetics. The instructor discusses the defect density evolution under continuous illumination, the relationship between defect creation and annealing, and the unified model that explains both processes. Various experiments and models are presented to understand the defect kinetics, including the exponential and stretched exponential decay, as well as the impact of temperature on defect density equilibrium. The lecture concludes with a detailed analysis of light-induced defect creation and the interpretation of experimental data.
