Defect-related recombination near an isolated defect in GaAs  Tim Gfroerer,Davidson College, Davidson, NC with Mark Wanlass, National Renewable Energy Lab, CO Using photoluminescence imaging and measurements of radiative efficiency, we seek to understand how diffusion to defects affects recombination losses in solar cell materials.
