Abstract
A quantitative method for analysis of fast Mn2+-centered Auger processes in Mn2+-doped semiconductors is introduced. Analytical expressions have been derived that describe the Coulomb (″direct″) and exchange (″sp–d″) contributions to Mn2+-electron Auger de-excitation rate constants. All of the quantities in these expressions can be calculated using existing electronic structure methods without the computational expense of multireference approaches. Using time-dependent density functional theory to generate input parameters, these expressions have been applied to calculate Auger de-excitation rate constants in Mn2+-doped CdS nanocrystals. The results of these calculations agree well with experiment. Analysis reveals that the large rate constants for Auger de-excitation in Mn2+-doped semiconductors are primarily attributable to effective s–d exchange coupling.
