Electron-Hole Generation and Recombination Rates for Coulomb Scattering in Graphene
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate electron-hole generation and recombination rates for Coulomb scattering (Auger recombination and impact ionization) in Graphene. The conduction and valence band dispersion relation in Graphene together with energy and momentum conservation requirements restrict the phase space for Coulomb scattering so that electron-hole recombination times can be much longer than 1 ps for electron-hole densities smaller than 1012 cm−2.

متن کاملUltrafast carrier recombination and generation rates for plasmon emission and absorption in graphene
Electron-hole generation and recombination rates for plasmon emission and absorption in graphene are presented. The recombination times of carriers due to plasmon emission are found to be in the tens of femtoseconds to hundreds of picoseconds range. The recombination times depend sensitively on the carrier energy, carrier density, temperature, and plasmon dispersion. Carriers near the Dirac poi...

متن کاملElectron-electron interactions and doping dependence of the two-phonon Raman intensity in graphene
Raman spectroscopy is a fast and nondestructive means to characterize graphene samples. In particular, the Raman spectra are strongly affected by doping. While the resulting change in position and width of the G peak can be explained by the nonadiabatic Kohn anomaly at , the significant doping dependence of the 2D peak intensity has not been understood yet. Here we show that this is due to a co...
متن کاملConductivity of defectless graphene
Conductivity of graphene, a flat monolayer of carbon atoms, as a function of doping charge shows a pronounced minimum at the neutrality, compensation point. The theory predicts for this point a universal conductivity, whereas the experimental conductivity exceeds this prediction by few times. This discrepancy persists for long time now and may justify an additional study of zero gap semiconduct...
