Abstract
The method of time-resolved microwave photoconductivity at a frequency of 36 GHz in the range of temperatures of 200-300 K is used to study the kinetics of the annihilation of charge carriers in Cu-Zn-Sn-Se powders obtained by the solid-phase method of synthesis in cells. The lifetime of excess electrons at room temperature is found to be shorter than 5 ns. The activation energy for the process of recombination amounted to E ~ 0.054 eV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
