Validity of hrydrogen model for Diamond semiconductors

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The hydrogen model is applicable for calculating the shallow impurity binding energy in diamond semiconductors. This model treats the free electron and donor nucleus analogously to a proton-electron system, allowing for the calculation of energy eigenvalues to determine binding energy. The discussion confirms that this approach is valid for diamond, providing a foundational understanding for further exploration in semiconductor physics.

Validity of hydrogen model for Diamond semiconductors

Hi

I've calculated the shallow impurity binding energy for diamond for an experiment I'm doing.. I'm just wondering how valid is hydrogen model for this? We assume that the free electron and donar nucleus can be modeled as a proton-electron hydrogen like situation then calculate the energy Eigenvalues to determine the binding energy..

Thanks
