MaRDI QIDQ6674242

Boltzmann approximation for holes; for use in semiconductor physics

Defining Formula: $p(\psi ,{\varphi }_p)=N_v\exp \left(\frac{q({\varphi }_p-\psi )+E_v}{k_{B}T}\right)$

$q$ symbol represents Elementary Charge

$E_v$ symbol represents Band Edge Energy for Valence Band

$N_v$ symbol represents Density of States for Valence Band

$T$ symbol represents Temperature

${\varphi }_p$ symbol represents Fermi Potential for Holes

$\psi$ symbol represents Electric Potential

$k_B$ symbol represents Boltzmann Constant

$p$ symbol represents Density of Holes
