τtrap and τrecom are trapping and recombination lifetimes respectively, given by:

      tau Subscript t r a p Baseline equals StartFraction 1 Over v sigma Subscript t Baseline left-parenthesis upper N minus n right-parenthesis EndFraction equals StartFraction 1 Over upper A left-parenthesis upper N minus n right-parenthesis EndFraction (2.22)

      and

      tau Subscript r e c o m Baseline equals StartFraction 1 Over v sigma Subscript r Baseline n EndFraction equals StartFraction 1 Over upper B n EndFraction period (2.23)

      In these expressions v is the free carrier thermal velocity (ve for electrons in the conduction band or vh for holes in the valence band); σ is the relative capture-cross section for either capture by (N−n) empty traps, or for recombination with n trapped charges of opposite sign (free electrons by trapped holes or free holes by trapped electrons) and N and n are the total concentrations of available traps and the concentration of filled traps, respectively. The products A=vσt and B=vσr are the respective trapping/recombination “probabilities” or “transition rates,” in units of m3.s–1.

      Capture of electrons or holes at localized states can be via multi-phonon processes, cascade capture, Auger emission or radiative recombination. (See Mott (1978) for an overview and Landsberg (2003) for more detailed treatments.) As argued above, radiative recombination can be neglected for SRH recombination at a level deep within the band gap of a wide-band-gap insulator. Auger emission, either direct or exciton-enhanced, occurs when the energy of the free carrier is transferred to another electron or hole. The process is not often considered in dosimetry materials, but is a possibility to be considered. The temperature dependence of the capture cross-section for the Auger process is usually a power law, σ∝T−a.

      The multi-phonon process requires a sufficient number of phonons to allow the defect energy level to cross into the delocalized band and capture the electron (and similarly for hole capture). Phonons are bosons and the distribution of phonons of energy Eph at temperature T is given by Bose-Einstein statistics as 1/(1+ exp{−Eph/kT}). Thus, the availability of sufficiently energetic phonons increases with temperature, giving rise to an exponential dependence of the capture cross-section on temperature (exp{−Eph/kT}). The cascade-capture mechanism is likely to be combined with the multi-phonon mechanism, especially for the last excited-state to ground-state transition. Thus, a combination of a power-law dependence on T and an exponential dependence on T might be expected. Note that if Eph is small, the dependence will approximate to the power law T−a.

      Shockley-Read-Hall recombination requires a combination of two of the above capture processes. First, capture of (say) a hole is required, followed by capture of an electron by the trapped hole and consequent electron-hole recombination.
