  • Abstract
    The application of a realistic band structure shows that phonon-assisted Auger recombination with its weak temperature dependence dominates in quantum well semiconductors, a result in contrast to bulk materials. The experimental result where the Auger coefficient of quantum well InGaAs is nearly temperature independent is explained.
