39. When assuming Koster-type recombination rates [35], i.e., the rate expression representing the lower limit [29], the deviation between the I-V curves obtained with Langevin and Koster-type rates was indiscernible.

46. This effect is even more pronounced if carrier generation due to exciton dissociation at the interface is explicitly taken into account. Then, there is a strong gradient in the carrier concentration that drives charges from the heterojunction towards the contacts [18].
