Radiative recombination in hydrogenated amorphous silicon

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon exhibits efficient optical transitions across a gap larger than that of crystalline Si. Hydrogen passivates the dangling bonds and endows the material with a reduced number of non-radiative recombination centers. A gap widening has been observed in other hydrogenated semiconductors.
