In this study, the photoexcited state of a hematite thin film was investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the 200 fs decay time of the hole state in the valence band was observed.
Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is a photoelectrode for the water splitting process because of its relatively narrow bandgap and abundance in the earth's crust. In this study, the photoexcited state of a hematite thin film was investigated with femtosecond oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the PAL-XFEL in order to follow the dynamics of its photoexcited states. The 200 fs decay time of the hole state in the valence band was observed via its corresponding XAS feature.
