← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when internal molecular hydrogen accelerates recombination in amorphous silicon?
A)Dangling bond defect passivation decreases✓
B)Crystalline domain formation accelerates
C)Sub-gap light absorption amplitude increases
D)Photoluminescence quantum yield stays stable
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen diffusion enables dangling bond passivation via the Staebler-Wronski effect, because hydrogen atoms saturate these defects. Therefore, dangling bond density decreases, rather than increasing sub-gap absorption which would occur without passivation.
