摘要：

Hot carrier solar cells aims to circumvent fundamental loss mechanisms by extracting carriers before thermalization of hot carriers occurs while also minimizing subbandgap losses. The absorber must be able to maintain a hot carrier for a sufficiently long time. Hafnium nitride owing to its phononic properties to slow carrier thermalization is a potential absorber for the hot carrier solar cell. The phonon properties have been measured by Raman spectroscopy. The carrier dynamics in hafnium nitride has been studied by ultrafast pumpprobe transient absorption where nanosecond long lifetimes have been observed. The carrier temperature has been extracted from the transient absorption spectra to show the carrier temperature remained above 350 K for a long time with a decay time constant of 1.2 ns.
