Derivation of Phonon Assisted Auger Transition Probabilites in Semiconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a theory developed by Stumpf [1] will be used in order to calculate Auger transi tion probabilities in semiconductors. The main feature of the calculations is the incorporation of the coupling of impurity electrons to the surrounding lattice by phonons, using dynamical elec tronic wave functions for impurity states. The final result is an expression for transition probabi lities, describing multiphonon assisted Auger transitions in semiconductors.

Auger Recombination in Semiconductor Quantum Wells
The principal mechanisms of Auger recombination of nonequilibrium carriers in semiconductor heterostructures with quantum wells are investigated. It is shown for the first time that there exist three fundamentally different Auger recombination mechanisms of (i) thresholdless, (ii) quasi-threshold, and (iii) threshold types. The rate of the thresholdless Auger process depends on temperature only...
متن کاملTime-domain ab initio study of Auger and phonon-assisted auger processes in a semiconductor quantum dot.
We developed time-domain ab initio simulation of Auger phenomena, including multiple exciton generation (MEG) and recombination (MER). It is the first approach describing phonon-assisted processes and early dynamics. MEG starts below the electronic threshold, strongly accelerating with energy. Ligands are particularly important to phonon-assisted MEG, which therefore can be probed with infrared...
متن کاملAuger Recombination in GaAs from First Principles
Auger recombination is a significant loss mechanism in many optoelectronic devices. We use first-principles methods based on density functional theory to study the relative importance of direct and indirect phonon-assisted Auger recombination in GaAs and related alloys. Energy and momentum of the recombining electron−hole pair can be transferred to an Auger electron (eeh process) or an Auger ho...

It is a common knowledge that the formation of electron pairs is a necessary ingredient of any theoretical work describing superconductivity. Thus, finding the mechanism of the formation of the electron pairs is of utmost importance. There are some experiments on high transition temperature superconductors which support the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions as the pairing mechanism (ARPES),...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of the optical spin-selection rules in bulk Si and Ge/Si quantum dots
We study the relationship between the circular polarization of photoluminescence and the magnetic-fieldinduced spin polarization of the recombining charge carriers in bulk Si and Ge/Si quantum dots. First, we quantitatively compare experimental results on the degree of circular polarization of photons resulting from phonon-assisted radiative transitions in intrinsic and doped bulk Si with calcu...
