why the mass action law is not valid for very low temperatures??
Hi,
In the context of semiconductors, I was asked why the mass action law is not valid for very low temperatures. I thought that it was valid, since for very low temperature it holds the non-degeneracy condition [tex] E_g >> k_B T [/tex] (I think so...). But maybe for some other reason it breaks. Does someone know why? Thanks!
