1988/10/01· The electronic transport in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is studied by means of a time-of-flight experiment performed on samples presenting a classical sandwich configuration. Both macroscopic and microscopic behaviors are analyzed. From the experimental results we determine, when the transport is nondispersive or slightly dispersive and with a minimum of assumptions, the density of
