Abstract

Optical-pump terahertz-prohe (OPTP) spectroscopy is a powerful, non-contact tool for extracting the electrical conductivity within a material. In this work, we show how OPTP spectroscopy can he used to extract the temperature-dependent electron mobility and photoconductivity lifetime within semiconductor nanowires (NWs), in order to reveal the underlying scattering mechanisms governing carrier transport in these materials.
