Recombination

recombination_model{}

SRH (optional)

value:

yes or no

default:

no

Shockley-Read-Hall recombination (Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination)

Auger (optional)

value:

yes or no

default:

no

Auger recombination (Auger recombination)

radiative (optional)

value:

yes or no

default:

no

radiative recombination (direct recombination) (Radiative recombination)

enable_generation (optional)

value:

yes or no

default:

yes

Generation can be switched on (default: yes) or off for the enabled processes.

For each enabled of the three processes, generation is enabled/disabled using enable_generation. Thus, enabling only generation without also enabling recombination is not possible (enable_generation = yes has no effect then). If radiative recombination is calculated (radiative = yes), then the photo_current is included in the file IV_characteristics.dat. Additionally, the internal quantum efficiency is written to the file internal_quantum_efficiency.dat.
