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

Electron-Hole Generation and Recombination Rates for Coulomb Scattering in Graphene
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...
متن کاملAuger recombination and excited state relaxation dynamics in Hg(n)(-) (n=9-20) anion clusters.
Using femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging, electron-hole pairs are created in size-selected Hg(n)(-) anion clusters (n=9-20), and the subsequent decay dynamics are measured. These clusters eject electrons via Auger decay on time scales of 100-600 fs. There is an abrupt increase in the Auger decay time for clusters larger than Hg(12)(-), coinciding with the onset of the transition fr...
متن کاملTheoretical study of Auger recombination in a GaInNAs 1.3 mm quantum well laser structure
We present a theoretical study of Auger recombination processes in a GaInNAs/GaAs quantum well structure designed for 1.3 mm laser emission. The calculations are based on a 10310 k"p model, incorporating valence, conduction, and nitrogen-induced bands. The Auger transition matrix elements are calculated explicitly, without introducing any further approximations into the Hamiltonian used. We con...
متن کاملTracking Primary Thermalization Events in Graphene with Photoemission at Extreme Time Scales.
Direct and inverse Auger scattering are amongst the primary processes that mediate the thermalization of hot carriers in semiconductors. These two processes involve the annihilation or generation of an electron-hole pair by exchanging energy with a third carrier, which is either accelerated or decelerated. Inverse Auger scattering is generally suppressed, as the decelerated carriers must have e...
متن کاملObservation of rapid Auger recombination in optically excited semiconducting carbon nanotubes
Time-resolved fluorescence measurements of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) reveal rapid electron-hole pair annihilation when multiple electron-hole pairs are present in a nanotube. The process can be understood as Auger recombination with a rate of ,1 ps−1 for just two electron-hole pairs in a 380-nm long SWNT. This efficient nonradiative recombination reflects the strong carrier-carrier...
