Inelastic carrier lifetime in graphene
We consider hot-carrier inelastic scattering due to electron-electron interactions in graphene as functions of carrier energy and density. We calculate the imaginary part of the zero-temperature quasiparticle self-energy for doped graphene utilizing the G0W and random phases approximations. Using the full dynamically screened Coulomb interaction, we obtain the inelastic quasiparticle lifetimes ...
متن کاملCarrier Lifetime Relevant Deep Levels In SiC
Silicon carbide (SiC) is currently under development for high power bipolar devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). A major issue for these devices is the charge carrier lifetime, which, in the absence of structural defects such as dislocations, is influenced by point defects and their associated deep levels. These defects provide energy levels within the bandgap and may act...
متن کاملMinority carrier lifetime and surface effects in VLS-grown axial p-n junction silicon nanowires.
High aspect ratio p–n junction semiconductors have displayed great potential for emerging photovoltaics owing to enhanced properties such as improved light absorption or trapping effi ciency and facile carrier collection. [ 1–4 ] In the case of bottomup synthesized p–n junction nanowires, additional advantages come from their single-crystalline structure and reduced materials usage, coupled wit...
متن کاملImpact of laterally non-uniform carrier lifetime on photoconductance-based lifetime measurements with self-consistent calibration
The impact of laterally non-uniform carrier lifetime on the determination of the lifetime from photoconductance-based measurements, based on the self-consistent method proposed by Trupke and Bardos, is investigated using a simple model. It is shown that the method can result in an overestimation of the mean lifetime, with the magnitude of the error mainly dependent on the distribution of the ef...
متن کاملUltrashort free-carrier lifetime in low-loss silicon nanowaveguides.
We demonstrate reduction of the free-carrier lifetime in a silicon nanowaveguide from 3 ns to 12.2 ps by applying a reverse bias across an integrated p-i-n diode. This observation represents the shortest free-carrier lifetime demonstrated to date in silicon waveguides. Importantly, the presence of the p-i-n structure does not measurably increase the propagation loss of the waveguide. We derive ...
