Abstract

The low-temperature energy relaxation of charge carriers in a disordered hopping system is considered, taking into account the filling of hopping sites by localized carriers. A non-linear equation for the occupation probability is derived and solved under the condition of a constant total density of excited carriers. A characteristic time for the appearance of a quasi-Fermi level is estimated.
