Abstract
We report on dynamics of photogenerated carriers in porous silicon using contactless investigation tools. A comparison of two theoretical models: the simple point charge description versus degenerate gas model is presented. The temperature dependence reveals the dominant role of surface states below 70 K. Light intensity dependences evidence Auger processes. The optical and chemical properties can be indirectly improved using the microwave conductivity by studying the surface states of porous materials. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract Nonequilibrium charge carrier relaxation dynamics in porous silicon was investigated by means of time‐resolved photoluminescence and ultrafast transient reflectance. Fluorescence band shift to the low energy side and intensity decay were observed during several initial nanoseconds under
