title = "Luminescence above the Tauc gap in a-Si:H",
abstract = "We report the first observation and full characterization of the weak photoluminescence signal at and above the Tauc gap in a-Si:H. Detailed spectral dependence on temperature (from 10 K to 500 K), Tauc gap, deep defect density and laser power density is reported. The origin of the signal is discussed in terms of the carrier dynamics.",

note = "Funding Information: The weak PL above the bandgap has been observed and eharacterized for the first time. We find that it corresponds to geminate recombination and that its strength can be related to the increasing distance between partners during thermalization. Below an onset energy, the PL increases exponentially. A model where the holes become self-trapped appears to explain the data successfully. At low temperature, it is possible to obtain the radius of the electron wavefunction near the mobility edge, which we find equal to 1 nm. P.M.F. and I.H.C. acknowledge support from NSF through the Presidential Young Investigator program. P.M.F. is also an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow.",
