Available identifiers

MaRDI QIDQ6674241

Boltzmann approximation for electrons; for use in semiconductor physics

Defining Formula: $n(\psi ,{\varphi }_n)=N_c\exp \left(\frac{q(\psi -{\varphi }_n)-E_c}{k_{B}T}\right)$

$q$ symbol represents Elementary Charge

$E_c$ symbol represents Band Edge Energy for Conduction Band

$N_c$ symbol represents Density of States for Conduction Band

$T$ symbol represents Temperature

${\varphi }_n$ symbol represents Fermi Potential for Electrons

$\psi$ symbol represents Electric Potential

$k_B$ symbol represents Boltzmann Constant

$n$ symbol represents Density of Electrons
