Recombination mechanisms in amorphous silicon-based alloys

Photoconductivity has been measured as a function of temperature, photon energy, and electric field strength for amorphous Si:F:H alloys. The results clearly show that geminate recombination is not important in the visible region of the spectrum in these materials. The significance of these results...

Description
Summary:Photoconductivity has been measured as a function of temperature, photon energy, and electric field strength for amorphous Si:F:H alloys. The results clearly show that geminate recombination is not important in the visible region of the spectrum in these materials. The significance of these results for efficient solar photovoltaic energy conversion is discussed.
