The temperature dependence of the Shockley-Read-Hall lifetime is scaled following the model presented in~\cite{schenk} as:

\begin{equation}
    \tau(N, T) = \tau(N) \left( \frac{\SI{300}{K}}{T} \right)^{3/2}
\end{equation}

This model can be selected in the configuration file via the parameter \parameter{recombination_model = "srh"}.
