radiative charge carrier recombination

synonym: radiative recombination
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08864
Charge carrier recombination in which the energy released is emitted as a photon of corresponding energy.
Note:
Radiative charge carrier recombination occurs if a mobile electron meets a hole with which it forms an exciton that then decays by the radiative electron transition to the ground state.
