quantumstate-recombination-rates

Relevant data for generation and recombination rates in quantum clusters.
In quantum clusters, rates for different eigenstates can be provided and a net generation and recombination rate will be calculated.

Syntax

rate-number    = 1
has to be numbered from 1, 2, 3,...

quantum-region = 1
number of quantum cluster

x-left         = 10d0  ! [nm]
x-right        = 20d0  ! [nm]
left and right boundaries of relevant integration range

threshold-frac =
The quantum states are specified by a a certain threshold fraction of psi2 within the region [x-left,x-right].
This is necessary for large quantum regions which extend far beyond the region of interest and therefore have many irrelevant eigenstates.
The generation rate is proportional to netto_gen_rate * psiV(x)2 * Fermi_function(x).
 

vb-eigenstate  =
cb-eigenstate  =
relevant valence and conduction band eigenstate numbers

netto-gen-rate =
