Thereby it is shown that the relaxation, commonly described by a stretched-exponential function, can be successfully reconstructed without consideration of a structural or energetic disorder. Furthermore, the access to particular microscopic measures such as the lifetime of single hopping events and localized-carrier densities is enabled. The impact of the model approach valid for various complex relaxation processes is demonstrated with the nonexponential relaxation dynamics of optically generated small bound polaron densities experimentally determined in KNbO3 as an example. |
