    Graduate Efficient Solutions for the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation in a Rectangular Domain

    Not sure that you're right because the exponential term contains the function itself rather than the independent variables x or y.

    Graduate Efficient Solutions for the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation in a Rectangular Domain

    Hello, I'm trying to find either an analytical or a semi-analytical method for solving the following P-B Eq. with C and A being two constants. The equation is to be solved within a rectangle with constant boundary conditions. If anyone has a clue, I'll be grateful. Have a good evening.

    PN junction's behavior near corners

    Hey all, Consider a general 2D configuration of a P+N junction where a small P+ material rectangle is placed upon a much larger N-material rectangle. So, the interface between the P+ and the N comprises a flat boundary line terminated on each side by a right-angled corner (hope I'm being clear...

    Graduate Brillouin Zones: Primitive Reciprocal Lattice Vectors

    Hi fellows, An FCC lattice has one atom per unit cell and a set of primitive vectors. Its 1st BZ has its distinctive 3D shape, set explicitly by the Wigner-seitz cell in the reciprocal space. What if we have a zinc-blende (GaAs) lattice with 2 atoms per unit cell? How are the primitive...

    Graduate Do all metals have the same Fermi energy level at constant temperature?

    Hi, a question please: Do all metallic substances have an equal Fermi energy level (at a constant T) ? If not, what will happen (before equilibrium) if one "fuses" together two bulks of metal with different Fermi levels (as in a PN junction) ? Since there's an abundance of energy states...
