Title: First-Principles Simulation of Carrier Recombination Mechanisms in Halide Perovskites

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, there have been remarkable developments in halide perovskites, which are used in highly efficient optoelectronic devices and exhibit intriguing materials physics. Detailed knowledge of carrier recombination mechanisms is essential for understanding their excellent performance and to further increase their efficiency. Obtaining such knowledge is challenging however, and different studies have reached divergent conclusions in some cases. This progress report outlines the critical developments in understanding the carrier recombination mechanisms in halide perovskites from a computational perspective. The primary focus is radiative and Auger recombination, since they have not been systematically assessed and discussed before, and a number of important issues have been actively debated. This comprehensive discussion of the carrier recombination mechanisms is aimed at establishing physically justified insights that can form the basis for better materials and devices design.
