Generation and Recombination in semiconductors

This video is part of the FREE online course PV1x Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, developed by Delft University of Technology. PV1x is part of the Solar Energy Engineering MicroMasters this video, Professor René van Swaaij introduces the concepts of generation and recombination. The generation and recombination of free charge carriers are at the heart of the operation of any semiconductor device, including solar cells.
