Tlus convenient investigation tecluuque allows a fast detennination of the minOlity canier lifetime in senUconductor matelials and is an impOltant technique to predict the solar cell perfOlmance. The decay curves were obtained with a xenon stroboscope lanlp and Nd:YAG laser and Nitrogen laser pulses as an excitation sourceenLifetime in Cltystalline and Polycrystalline SiliconThesis
