It is shown that the traditional approach for consideration of recombination under condition of steady-state current in the absence of external carrier generation is internally contradictory. Sometimes the approach leads to obviously…
Radiative and non-radiative charge carrier recombination in thin-film diodes plays a key role in determining the efficiency of electronic devices made of next generation semiconductors such as organic, perovskite and nanocrystals. In this…
The steady-state distribution of carrier concentrations in a solar cell under operating conditions is a key source of carrier recombination and directly influences the output current density. In this study, we investigated the effects of…
The ABC model has been widely used to describe the carrier recombination rate, in which the rate of non-radiative recombination assisted by deep-level defects is assumed to depend linearly on excess carrier density $\Delta n$, leading to a…
The understanding and optimization of solar energy conversion and light emitting devices can greatly benefit from equivalent circuit models describing their response. However, a general model of electron-hole recombination in semiconductors…
We propose a model to explain the reduced bimolecular recombination rate found in state-of-the-art bulk heterojunction solar cells. When compared to the Langevin recombination, the experimentally observed rate is one to four orders of…
The theoretical effects of phase separation on encounter-limited charge carrier recombination in organic semiconductor blends are investigated using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of pump-probe experiments. Using model bulk…
Understanding how the complex intermolecular- and nano-structure present in organic semiconductor donor-acceptor blends impacts charge carrier motion, interactions, and recombination behavior is a critical fundamental issue with a…
It is known that when strong electric field is applied to a semiconductor sample, the current voltage characteristic deviates from the linear response. In this letter, we propose a new point of view of nonlinearity in semiconductors which…
Accurate modeling of charge transport and both thermal and luminescent radiation is crucial to the understanding and design of radiative thermal energy converters. Charge carrier dynamics in semiconductors are well-described by the…
A self-consistent model of bipolar charge-carrier injection and transport processes in a semiconductor/insulator/conductor system is developed which incorporates space-charge effects in the description of the injection process. The amount…
We consider the two-dimensional bimolecular recombination of charge carriers in amorphous organic semiconductors having the lamellar structure. We calculate the dependence of the effective recombination rate constant on the carrier density…
The total rate of carrier recombination in semiconductors has conventionally been expressed using an additive model, r_total = \Sigma r_i , which rules out the interactions between carrier recombination pathways. Here we challenge this…

The lifetime of non-equilibrium electrons and holes in semiconductors is crucial for solar cell and optoelectronic applications. Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) simulations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)…
Semiconductor devices favor high carrier mobility for reduced Joule heating and high thermal conductivity for rapid heat dissipation. The ability to accurately characterize the motion of charge carriers and heat carriers is necessary to…
The interplay between the illuminated excitation of carriers and subsequent thermalization and recombination leads to the formation of non-equilibrium distributions for the "hot" carriers and to heating of both electrons, holes and phonons.…
