First principles calculation of inter- and intra-band Auger recombination rates in ZnMgO — •Markus Heinemann and Christian Heiliger — I. Physikalisches Institut, Justus Liebig University Giessen, D-35392 Giessen, Germany

Recent theoretical work on GaInN [1] indicates that inter-band Auger recombination causes a resonance in the Auger coefficient in the blue to green spectrum which leads to a loss in quantum efficiency of nitrite based light emitters. We report ab initio investigations on non-radiative loss mechanisms due to band-to-band Auger recombination in wurtzite ZnMgO alloys. We use density functional theory to compute inter- and intra-band Auger recombination rates as a function of the Mg concentration.
