1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Carrier dynamics detection in different dimensions (space, time, and energy) with high resolutions plays a pivotal role in the development of modern semiconductor devices, especially in low-dimensional, high-speed, and ultrasensitive devices. Here, a femtosecond electron-based versatile microscopy is reported that combines scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (SUEM) imaging and time-resolved cathodoluminescence (TRCL) detection, which allows for visualizing and decoupling different dynamic processes of carriers involved in surface and bulk in semiconductors with unprecedented spatiotemporal and energetic resolutions. The achieved spatial resolution is better than 10 nm, and the temporal resolutions for SUEM imaging and TRCL detection are ≈500 fs and ≈4.5 ps, respectively, representing state-of-the-art performance. To demonstrate its unique capability, the surface and bulk carrier dynamics involved in n-type gallium arsenide (GaAs) are directly tracked and distinguished. It is revealed, in real time and space, that hot carrier cooling, defect trapping, and interband-/defect-assisted radiative recombination in the energy domain result in ordinal super-diffusion, localization, and sub-diffusion of carriers at the surface, elucidating the crucial role of surface states on carrier dynamics. The study not only gives a comprehensive physical picture of carrier dynamics in GaAs, but also provides a powerful platform for exploring complex carrier dynamics in semiconductors for promoting their device performance.
