Abstract

A three-electron recombination process in semiconductors is analysed by employing second-order perturbation theory. Taking the unperturbed states to be planewaves and ignoring exchange effects, the recombination coefficient is calculated to be approximately /10-51 to 10-54 cm9 s-1. The overlap of the modulating parts of the Bloch functions reduce this estimate by approximately 10-3.
