Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Transient absorption spectroscopy is a powerful technique for understanding charge carrier dynamics and recombination pathways. Analyzing the results is not trivial due to nonexponential relaxation dynamics away from equilibrium, leading to a disparity in reported charge-transfer rates. An inversion analysis technique is presented that transforms transient signals back into their original rate equation. The technique is demonstrated on two CdSe/TiO heterostructures with different surface states. Auger recombination is identified at higher carrier densities and radiative recombination at lower carrier densities. The heterostructure with additional surface traps exhibits increased trap-state Auger recombination at high carrier densities and changes to radiative recombination at low carrier densities due to a Shockley-Read-Hall process. Carrier-dependent electron-transfer rates are determined and compared to common methods that only capture the magnitude of the charge transfer at specific carrier densities. The presented transient absorption analysis provides direct understanding of the recombination mechanisms with minimal additional analysis or with presumption of decay mechanisms.
