The self-trapping of a free carrier in transition-metal oxides can lead to a small polaron, which is responsible for the inadequate performance of the oxide-based optoelectronic applications. Thus, fundamental understanding of the self-trapping mechanism is of key importance for improving the performance of these applications. Herein, the self-trapping in Co3O4 epitaxial monocrystalline films is investigated primarily by transient absorption spectroscopy. The spectral evolution corresponding to the ultrafast transition fr
