Analysis of higher recombination orders in organic bulk heterojunction solar cells
PublicationRecently, it has been experimentally demonstrated that an order of nongeminate recombination exceeds two in some types of organic bulk heterojunction donor-acceptor structures. This result is different than for the case of bimolecular recombination described by Langevin theory. Although several theoretical explanations of this effect have been presented, the origin of higher recombination orders is still questionable. In this work,...

On adaptive selection of estimation bandwidth for analysis of locally stationary multivariate processes
PublicationWhen estimating the correlation/spectral structure of a locally stationary process, one should choose the so-called estimation bandwidth, related to the effective width of the local analysis window.
