Abstract

The article deals with the recombination dynamics of current carriers in disordered semiconductors. It searches for way out to better understanding processes proceeding in disordered semiconductors in steady system as well as in non-stationary one. A model is presented which enables one from unified viewpoint an explanation of Meyer-Neldel rule (including the specific effects connected with the MNR) and also essential features of the non-exponential relaxation..

Keywords
