摘要
Electron thermalization and electron-hole recombination in scintillating crystals is simulated with and without account for Coulomb field created by a hole using both analytical estimations and Monte-Carlo approach. The Monte-Carlo simulation is performed both for crystals with one and two branches of longitudinal optical phonons to check the role of additional branches of these phonons. The results of numerical simulation show that the account for Coulomb field at all stages of the thermalization and capture significantly increases the probability of the geminate electron-hole binding in case of high values of optical phonon energies.
