Novel Biexcitonic, Non-Radiative Electron-Hole Recombination Mechanism and Its Application in Hydrogenated Silicon Semiconductors

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

A biexciton model is proposed for non-radiative electron hole (e-h) recombination in semiconductors based on first-principles calculations . In hydrogenated Si, the trapping of photoexcited e-h pairs drives large structural reconfiguration, accompanied by the crossing of an electron and a hole level near midgap. This level crossing is the key to a fast and non-radiative recombination, without theslow multi-phonon emission process.
