Kinetics of indirect electron-hole recombination in a wide single quantum well in a strong electric field.

The kinetics of the indirect recombination of electrons and holes in wide single quantum wells in a strong electric field has been analyzed. It has been shown that the recombination time increases exponentially up to 20 μs due to the spatial separation of oppositely charged particles. The results of a theoretical model predicting the behavior of the recombination time as a function of the applied field are in good agreement with experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
