Dispersive diffusion controlled distance dependent recombination in amorphous semiconductors
Abstract
The photoluminescence in amorphous semiconductors decays according to power law at long times. The photoluminescence is controlled by dispersive transport of electrons. The latter is usually characterized by the power of the transient current observed in the time-of-flight experiments. Geminate recombination occurs by radiative tunneling which has a distance dependence. In this paper, we formulate ways to calculate reaction rates and survival probabilities in the case carriers execute dispersive diffusion with long-range reactivity. The method is applied to obtain tunneling recombination rates under dispersive diffusion. The theoretical condition of observing the relation is obtained and theoretical recombination rates are compared to the kinetics of observed photoluminescence decay in the whole time range measured.
