摘要
We observe exceptionally high diffusion of excitons in diamond using time-resolved photoluminescence imaging. The diffusivity is found to increase with decreasing temperature more rapidly than well-established predictions. The highest diffusion constant, 9.2 x 10(3) cm(2)/s, measured for thermalized excitons is 150 times that recorded previously in diamond. We elucidate the momentum relaxation mechanisms determining transport: intraband and interband scattering by acoustic phonons in the exciton fine-structure levels. The enhanced diffusivity above 100 K is explained by a free-carrier contribution.
