various average grain areas ranging from 2.6 to 23.3 μm 2 on Si (111) by molecular beam
epitaxy, and investigated their minority-carrier lifetime properties by the microwave-detected
photoconductivity decay method at room temperature. The measured excess-carrier decay
curves were divided into three parts in terms of decay rate. We characterized the BaSi 2 films
using the decay time of the second decay mode, τ SRH, caused by Shockley-Read-Hall …
