摘要
At carrier densities above the Mott density, Coulomb screening destroys the exciton resonance. This, together with band-gap renormalization and band filling, severely affects the optical spectra. We have experimentally studied these effects by ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity measurements on a ZnO single crystal at various wavelengths around the exciton resonance and in a broad carrier-density range. Theoretically, we determined the Mott density in ZnO to be 1.5 x 10(24) m(-3) at 300 K. Taking a field-theoretical approach, we derived and solved the Bethe-Salpeter ladder equation and we computed the density-dependent reflectivity and absorption spectra. A carrier dynamics model has been developed, containing three-photon absorption, carrier cooling, and carrier trapping near the surface. The agreement between the theoretical reflectivity based on our model and the experimental data is excellent.
