Thermalization of radiation-induced electrons in wide-bandgap materials: A first-principles approach
Dallin O. Nielsen, Massimo V. Fischetti
The present study is concerned with simulating the thermalization of high-energy charge carriers (electrons and/or electron-hole pairs), generated by ionizing radiation, in diamond…

A first-principles approach to closing the "10-100 eV gap" for charge-carrier thermalization in semiconductors
Dallin O. Nielsen, Chris G. Van de Walle, Sokrates T. Pantelides +3
The present work is concerned with studying accurately the energy-loss processes that control the thermalization of hot electrons and holes that are generated by high-energy radiat…
