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 E_g >> k_B T (I...

I was asked why the law of mass action in not valid at very low temperatures. I thought that it was, since for very low temperature it holds the condition E_g >> k_B T (I think so...). But maybe for some other reason it breaks. Does someone know why?
