A generalized model for time-resolved luminescence of localized carriers and applications: Dispersive thermodynamics of localized carriers

Abstract For excited carriers or electron-hole coupling pairs (excitons) in disordered crystals, they may localize and broadly distribute within energy space first, and then experience radiative recombination and thermal transfer (i.e., non-radiative recombination via multi-phonon process) processes...

A generalized model for time-resolved luminescence of localized carriers and applications: Dispersive thermodynamics of localized carriers
description Abstract For excited carriers or electron-hole coupling pairs (excitons) in disordered crystals, they may localize and broadly distribute within energy space first, and then experience radiative recombination and thermal transfer (i.e., non-radiative recombination via multi-phonon process) processes till they eventually return to their ground states.
