We report a numerical study of the effect of interface alloying and band-alignment on the Auger recombination processes of core/shell nanocrystals. Numerical calculations are carried out using a two-band Kane Hamiltonian. Smooth interfaces…
Charge transfer between photoexcited quantum dots and molecular acceptors is one of the key limiting processes in most applications of colloidal nanostructures, most prominently in photovoltaics. An atomistic detailed description of this…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that for a quantum dot in an optical resonator off-resonant cavity mode emission can occur even for detunings of the order of 10 meV. We show that Coulomb mediated Auger processes based on additional…
The concept of nonlinear quantum-beat pump-probe Auger spectroscopy is introduced by discussing a relatively simple four-level model system. We consider a coherent wave packet involving two low-lying states that was prepared by an…
In pursuit of quantum advancements across disciplines, a bright and coherent electron source is expected to be a cornerstone of diverse applications including electron microscopy, laser accelerators, and free electron lasers. Current…
We propose an electrically pumped laser diode based on multiple HgTe quantum wells with band structure engineered for Auger recombination suppression. A model for accounting for hot phonons is developed for calculating the nonequilibrium…
The emission of an Auger electron is the predominant relaxation mechanism of core-vacant states in molecules composed of light nuclei. In this non-radiative decay process, one valence electron fills the core vacancy while a second valence…
Supercell method is used to study the relaxation and screening effects during the Auger transition in metals. In order to make the interaction between the core-holes sited at different atoms negligible, the real metal is simulated by…
Coherently driven semiconductor quantum dots are one of the most promising platforms for non-classical light sources and quantum logic gates which form the foundation of photonic quantum technologies. However, to date, coherent manipulation…
The performance of modern light-emitting technologies, from lasers to LEDs, is limited by nonradiative losses, with Auger recombination being the dominant channel at device-relevant carrier densities. Reliable modeling of this process is…
The observed intermittent light emission from colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals has long been associated with Auger recombination assisted quenching. We test this view by observing transient emission dynamics of CdSe/CdS/ZnS…
Pb-chalcogenide colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are attractive materials to be used as tuneable laser media across the infrared spectrum. However, excessive nonradiative Auger recombination due to the presence of trap states outcompetes light…
Influence of electron-electron relaxation processes on Auger recombination rate in direct band semiconductors is investigated. Comparison between carrier-carrier and carrier-phonon relaxation processes is provided. It is shown that…
The quantum efficiency of AlGaN ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) declines (droops) at increasing operating powers due to Auger-Meitner recombination (AMR). Using first-principles density-functional theory, we show that indirect AMR…
The physical process driving low-current non-radiative recombinations in high-quality III-Nitride quantum wells is investigated. Lifetime measurements reveal that these recombinations scale with the overlap of the electron and hole…
In a multi-electron atom, an excited electron can decay by emitting a photon. Typically, the leftover electrons are in their ground state. In a radiative Auger process, the leftover electrons are in an excited state and a redshifted photon…
Fully microscopic many-body models based on inputs from first principle density functional theory are used to calculate the carrier losses due to radiative- and Auger-recombinations in bulk tellurium. It is shown that Auger processes…
The interatomic Auger transitions in compounds containing atomic components with core levels close in energy are studied theoretically and experimentally. The Coulomb transitions of a hole between such levels lead to a resonant enhancement…
We investigate the charge re-distribution upon optical excitation of various necked homodimer CQDMs using single particle emission spectroscopy. By tuning the hybridization of the electron wavefunction at a fixed center-to-center distance…
Auger recombination (AR) being electron-hole annihilation with energy-momentum transfer to another carrier is believed to speed up in materials with small band gap. We theoretically show that this rule is violated in gapless…
