Dynamics of photoinduced bulk and surface reactions involving semiconductors characterized by time resolved spectroscopy techniques (2015–2018)

Time-resolved spectroscopic techniques represent a valuable set of tools for the analysis of photoinduced processes in semiconductors. We present here an overview of the underlying principles and of the insights that can be obtained from them, discuss different strategies for the analysis of transient decay kinetics, and highlight interesting examples from recent years as well as seminal works in the field.
