Suppression of Auger Processes in Confined Structures
Abstract
We explore how the size and shape of the microscopic confinement potential affects the nonradiative Auger decay rate of confined carriers. Calculations conducted in the two-band, effective mass Kane model unambiguously show that smoothing out the confinement potential could reduce the rate by more than 3 orders of magnitude relative to the rate in structures with abruptly terminating boundaries. As the confinement potential width is increased, the calculated rate decreases overall, exhibiting very deep minima at regular widths. Such minima suggest that nanocrystals of "magic sizes" can exist for which nonradiative Auger processes are strongly suppressed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
