Title :
Non radiative decay processes in nanocrystals: Is the Auger model consistent with experiment?

Abstract :
Although recent experimental evidence seems to refute the Auger hypothesis, I will show that the observed decay times can be accounted for within the model, without the need to invoke more exotic mechanisms.
