Ultrafast carrier dynamics and radiative recombination in multiferroic BiFeO3 single crystals and thin films
We report a detailed comparison of ultrafast carrier dynamics in single crystals and thin films of multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO). Using degenerate femtosecond optical pump-probe spectroscopy, we find that the observed dynamics are qualitatively similar in both samples. After photoexcitation, electrons r...
