What Factors Influence Auger Recombination in Nanomaterials?
Several factors influence Auger recombination in nanomaterials:
Carrier density: Higher carrier densities increase the likelihood of Auger recombination. Quantum confinement: In low-dimensional systems, such as quantum dots, the spatial confinement of electrons and holes can enhance Auger processes. Material composition: The intrinsic properties of the material, including bandgap and electronic structure, affect the rate of Auger recombination. Temperature: Higher temperatures can increase phonon interactions, thereby affecting the Auger recombination rate.
