Carrier Generation and Recombination

Carrier Generation and Recombination

Carrier generation is the process by which electron-hole pairs (EHPs) are created within the semiconductor. In direct-bandgap semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), this occurs efficiently when energy absorption prompts valence electrons to leap into the conduction band, leaving behind holes.
This process is given by the generation rate G and is efficient due to the conservation of momentum between the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum.
Indirect generation involves an...

Background:

Strong light-matter coupling creates hybridized quantum states.
Donor-acceptor pairs facilitate energy transfer via Rabi oscillations.
Phototransistors require efficient light absorption and charge separation.

Purpose of the Study:
