| Popis: | Strong Coulomb interactions in two-dimensional systems, together with quantum confinement, make many-body processes particularly effective for carrier dynamics, which plays a crucial role in determining carrier lifetime, photoconductivity, and emission yield of the materials. Hereby, by using optical pump and terahertz probe spectroscopy, we have investigated the photocarrier dynamics in the PdSe2 films with different thickness. The experimental results reveal that the photocarrier relaxation consists of two components: a fast component of 2.5 ps that shows the layer-thickness independence, and a slow component has typical lifetime of 7.3 ps decreasing with the layer thickness. Surprisingly, the relaxation times for both fast and slow components are exhibited both pump fluence and temperature independence, which suggests that synergistic interactions between defect trapping and Auger effect dominate the photocarrier dynamics in PdSe2 films. A model involving defect-assisted Auger process is proposed, which can reproduce the experimental results well. The fitting results reveal that the layer dependent lifetime is determined by the defect density rather than carrier occupancy rate after photoexcitation. Our results underscore the interplay between Auger process and defects in two-dimensional semiconductors. Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures |
