مستخلص: We demonstrated a novel and widely accessible method for determining the electron effective mass and scattering time of ZnO films with different carrier concentrations by combining terahertz time-domain spectroscopy with Hall measurement. The terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) transmission spectra (0.1-2THz) were well described by Drude model. It is found that electron effective mass varied from 0.23m0 to 0.26m0 as the electron concentration changes from 5.9 x 1017 cm-3 to 4.0 x 1019 cm-3. The carrier concentration dependent characteristic is ascribed to the non-parabolicity of conduction band. Free carrier localization mechanism explained the discrepancy in mobilities obtained from THz-TDS and Hall measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
