Dr. Kyle Bushick and Professor Emmanouil Kioupakis present a consistent first-principles methodology to study both direct and phonon-assisted Auger-Meitner recombination (AMR) in indirect-gap semiconductors that we apply to investigate the microscopic origin of AMR processes in silicon. Their results are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements and show that phonon-assisted contributions dominate the recombination rate in both n-type and p-type silicon, demonstrating the critical ro...
