Abstract For semiconductors in molecular optoelectronic applications, photoinduced generation and recombination dynamics of free-carriers (mobile electrons and holes) are the key process of the device operation. To probe this dynamics, various spectroscopic and electrical techniques have been utilized. In this presentation, I will discuss photoinduced carrier-dynamics probed by flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity (fp-TRMC) experiments, which are visible-pump/microwave probe spectroscopic measurements. First, my presentation will introduce free-carrier dynamics in various organic and inorganic systems studied by fp-TRMC. This study highlights the unique features of fp-TRMC such as electrode-less and non-invasive measurements and extremely high sensitivity that suppresses many-body interactions. Second, my presentation will discuss the exciton/carrier dynamics studies of complementary fp-TRMC and pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy in solid-state organic systems where new photophysical phenomena relevant carrier-generation and recombination processes were identified.
