Neutral donor-acceptor-pair recombination under a uniform electric field.
نویسنده
چکیده
The kinetics of the recombination of electrons trapped by donors, with holes trapped by acceptors, in semiconductor materials within a uniform electric field has been investigated. A simple form has been derived which shows that the decay rate of neutral donor-acceptor-pair {DAP) recombination increases under the presence of the electric field. This analysis can also be applied to the processes of neutral DAP recombination in quantum wells and superlattices where electric fields are always present in the interface regions.

Electric Field Modulation of Electron Transfer Reaction Rates in Isotropic Systems: Long-Distance Charge Recombination in Photosynthetic Reaction Centers
A general method is demonstrated for experimentally obtaining the rate constant of electron transfer as a function of the free energy of the reaction in nonoriented systems. An external electric field is used to modulate the energy levels of dipolar states and thereby affect the electron-transfer rate. The method is valid for any electron-transfer system which has a fixed distance between the d...
متن کاملSelf-oscillations at photoinduced impurity breakdown in GaAs.
The effects of microwave {MW) irradiation on photoexcited free and donor-bound electrons are studied in semi-insulating, bulk GaAs in the temperature range of 2—20 K. The main observations are as follows: an abrupt increase in the photoinduced microwave absorption (PMA), a concurrent decrease of the donor-acceptor pair photoluminescence and self-oscillations in the PMA when the incident MW powe...
متن کاملRaising the barrier for photoinduced DNA charge injection with a cyclohexyl artificial base pair.
The effects of an artificial cyclohexyl base pair on the quantum yields of fluorescence and dynamics of charge separation and charge recombination have been investigated for several synthetic DNA hairpins. The hairpins possess stilbenedicarboxamide, perylenediimide, or naphthalenediimide linkers and base-paired stems. In the absence of the artificial base pair hole injection into both adenine a...
متن کاملFine Structure Due to Donor–Acceptor Pair Luminescence in Compensated Si
A fine structure on the higher energy side of donor–acceptor (DA) pair luminescence at 4.2K has been analyzed in compensated Si involving P donors and B acceptors. We calculated the density distribution of DA pairs against photon energy from the number of pairs as a function of the transition energy of respective pairs. A close agreement was obtained between the density curve and the observed s...
متن کاملDynamics of exciton dissociation in donor-acceptor polymer heterojunctions.
Exciton dissociation in a donor-accepter polymer heterojunction has been simulated using a nonadiabatic molecular dynamics approach, which allows for the coupled evolution of the nuclear degrees of freedom and the electronic degrees of freedom described by multiconfigurational electronic wavefunctions. The simulations reveal important details of the charge separation process: the exciton in the...
