Theory of highly efficient multiexciton generation in type-II nanorods

Theory of highly efficient multiexciton generation in type-II nanorods

Multiple exciton generation could help limit thermalization losses in solar cells, but the efficiency of the process is still limited. Here, the authors show by atomistic calculations that type-II interfaces in nanostructures along with a change in exciton cooling rate favour multiple exciton genera...
