Four-body recombination in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells: an alternative interpretation
PublicationWe demonstrate a new interpretation of the previously reported quadrimolecular recombination in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells. It is suggested that the recently described (Szmytkowski 2012 Phys.

This is in opposition to the treatment of this effect as a three-particle...
