Description
In this paper we propose a kinetic model which properly incorporates the band-trap capture and emission mechanism by including an evolution equation for the trapped electrons. Mathematical results on equilibrium and stability and their connections with thermodynamics are given. The recombination/generation rate is calculated and compared with the Shockley, Read and Hall model
