25 Conclusions Presented Femtosecond Transient ThermoReflectance (FTTR) technique measurements of the thermal diffusivity, electronphonon coupling factor, and thermal boundary resistance of thin metallic films. Showed that the thermoreflectance response is two orders of magnitude greater when the incident probe energy is near an interband transition, and that the response is only linear for small changes in temperature. Demonstrated that the wavelength dependence of Femtosecond Transient ThermoTransmittance (FTTT) response from an amorphous silicon solar cell can be related to the response of the individual layers.

27 Model Assumptions Change in transmission is entirely due to change in absorption. Band structure is parabolic with exponential band-tails. Absorption before and after spike is interband absorption into band-tails. Difference is due to temperature increase. N = G o G o exp(-αx) α T = α o exp {[hν - (E o - βt)] / 2k B T} Spike is due to intraband absorption of free carriers generated by the pump being excited higher within the conduction band. α fc = λ 2 q3 4π 2 c 3 n * ε ( N n m n 2 µ n + N p m p 2 µ p )
