Abstract
The time-dependent and steady-state drift mobilities of photoexcited carriers are calculated within a framework of a multiple-trapping model incorporating nonlinear effects due to a strong electric field. Tunneling processes from localized states to the transport edge and vice versa are taken into account. We discuss the application of the proposed theory to recent experiments and compare it with hopping theory.Keywords
