Carrier recombination dynamics in strip silicon nano-waveguides is analyzed through time-resolved pump-and-probe experiments, revealing a complex recombination dynamics at densities ranging from ${10^{14}}$ to ${10^{17}}\,$cm$^{{-3}}$. Our…
The isolated substitutional gold impurity in bulk silicon is studied in detail using electronic structure calculations based on density-functional theory. The defect system is found to be a non-spin-polarized negative-U centre, thus…
We study the breaking of reciprocity in non-Hermitian coupled photonic waveguides by the simultaneous action of the nonlinear effect of saturable absorption, and the presence of exceptional points. The nonlinear response of such a system is…
Nonreciprocal transmission is the fundamental process behind unidirectional wave propagation phenomena. In our work, a compact and practical parity-time (PT) symmetric metamaterial is designed based on two Silicon Carbide (SiC) media…
Nonradiative carrier recombination at semiconductor deep centers is of great importance to both fundamental physics and device engineering. In this letter, we provide a revised analysis of K. Huang's original nonradiative multi-phonon (NMP)…
We develop a practical first-principles methodology to determine nonradiative carrier capture coefficients at defects in semiconductors. We consider transitions that occur via multiphonon emission. Parameters in the theory, including…
Reconfigurable nonlinear-processing units (RNPUs) are multi-terminal electronic devices that act as computational primitives, exploiting intrinsic nonlinear charge transport combined with electrostatic tunability. Silicon-based realizations…
Carrier multiplication is a non-radiative recombination mechanism that leads to the generation of two or more electron-hole pairs after absorption of a single photon. By reducing the occurrence of dissipative effects, this process can be…
A system of two coupled semiconductor-based resonators is studied when lasing around an exceptional point. We show that the presence of nonlinear saturation effects can have important ramifications on the transition behavior of this system.…
Charge control of color centers in semiconductors promises opportunities for novel forms of sensing and quantum information processing. Here, we articulate confocal fluorescence microscopy and magnetic resonance protocols to induce and…
Platinum, to date, is the most widely applied electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media. It is assumed to be a proton-blocking catalyst with only surface-limited adsorption of the reaction intermediates. Here, we…
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…
Understanding and controlling nanoparticle coalescence is crucial for applications ranging from catalysis to nanodevice fabrication, yet the behavior of nanoparticles on dynamically evolving, heterogeneous substrates remains poorly…
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…
Point defects in semiconductor crystals provide a means for carriers to recombine nonradiatively. This recombination process impacts the performance of devices. We present the Nonrad code that implements the first-principles approach of…
We investigate the spin species relevant for the spin-dependent recombination used for the electrical readout of coherent spin manipulation in phosphorus-doped silicon. Via a multi-frequency pump-probe experiment in pulsed electrically…
Nonradiative carrier recombination is of both great applied and fundamental importance.But the correct ab initio approaches to calculate it remains to be inconclusive. Here we used 5 different formalisms to calculate the nonradiative…
We have quantified substitutional impurity concentrations in synthetic diamond crystals down to sub parts-per-billion levels. The capture lifetimes of electrons and excitons injected by photoexcitation were compared for several samples with…
We present multi-configuration Breit-Pauli AUTOSTRUCTURE calculations of distorted-wave photoionization (PI) cross sections, and total and partial final-state resolved radiative recombination (RR) and dielectronic recombination (DR) rate…
Optical systems combining balanced loss and gain profiles provide a unique platform to implement classical analogues of quantum systems described by non-Hermitian parity-time- (PT-) symmetric Hamiltonians and to originate new synthetic…
