Zelewski, Young Won Woo, Harry Demetriou, Martyn A. McLachlan, Sandrine Heutz, Benjamin A. Piot, David O. Scanlon, Akshay Rao, Laura M. Herz, Aron Walsh, Robert L. Z. Hoye

“…A limitation of these novel materials, which is being increasingly commonly found, is carrier localization, which substantially reduces mobilities and diffusion lengths. Herein, CuSbSe2 is investigated and discovered to have delocalized free carriers, as shown through optical pump terahertz probe spectroscopy and temperature-dependent mobility measurements. …”
