The kinetics of trapping and recombination in low dimensional structures

A one-dimensional structure consisting of traps and recombination centres is considered. Kinetics of trapping and recombination of charge carriers in this system is studied numerically by means of the Monte Carlo method. It is shown that such a system may exhibit some interesting properties that are not predicted by classical theories. Particularly, an additional peak could be observed relating to charge carriersʹ transport along the chain. These properties could be observed on thermoluminescence (TL) as well as thermally stimulated conductivity (TSC) curves.
