Electron Distribution in Degenerate Semiconductors
As we’ve discussed, to get the right density of states we should replace m by me . In addition, the energy that appears in the square root in the density of states really came from changing variables from momentum to energy. At the bottom of the conduction band, the electrons presumably have very little momentum. That is, the first state to be filled corresponds to an electron wave which is a s...
متن کاملElectron-electron scattering in linear transport in two-dimensional systems.
We describe a method for numerically incorporating electron–electron scattering in quantum wells for small deviations of the distribution function from equilibrium, within the framework of the Boltzmann equation. For a given temperature T and density n, a symmetric matrix needs to be evaluated only once, and henceforth it can be used to describe electron–electron scattering in any Boltzmann equ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic instability of confined two-dimensional electron flow in semiconductors
Hydrodynamic instabilities in two-dimensional electron flow in ungated semiconductors are studied here. The driving force for the electrons is an imposed voltage difference that generates a unidimensional electric field inside the semiconductor and its surroundings. The governing equations are linearized for small perturbations around the steady-flow solution. The eigenvalue spectrum determinin...
متن کاملHydrodynamic instability of one-dimensional electron flow in semiconductors
The hydrodynamic instability of one-dimensional flow of electrons in an ungated semiconductor driven by a voltage difference is studied. The governing transport and electrostatic equations are linearized about the steady flow, and the eigenspectrum of perturbations is calculated. The carrier flow is found to be unstable under certain circumstances through oscillations that manifest themselves a...
