Light- and voltage-induced changes in the microwave reflectivity of semiconductors can be used to study kinetics mechanisms electron transfer at semiconductor|electrolyte interfaces. The theory method is developed illustrated by numerical calculations steady-state response for low-doped silicon. results define range rate constants that should experimentally accessible using methods. time frequency responses light-induced are considered, it shown they derive values recombination constants.
