Can Someone Explain the Derivation of This Pink Equation?

  • Thread starter Turion
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses an equation in pink without a derivation shown. The course is revealed to be solid state physics and the symbols are explained. The conversation then suggests starting with the density of states and provides a link for further information. It is advised not to revive old threads.

I was absent so I was going through the slides and I saw that equation. There isn't a derivation shown. Do you guys have any ideas?

What course is this?

What do the symbols mean?

This is for solid state physics.

n0 represents the number of electrons in a semiconductor. p0 represents the number of holes in a semi conductor.

NA represents the number of positive (acceptor) ions. ND represents the number of negative (donor) ions.

ni=pi=n0=p0 in an instrinsic semiconductor.

Maybe you could start with the density of states.

If you Google "carriers doped semiconductor", 7 out of the top 7 results will lead you to a derivation. I stopped counting at that point. :biggrin: http://ecee.colorado.edu/~bart/book/extrinsi.htm is the first.

This thread is from 2013, and the OP has not been here for more than 2 years. Please do not revive old threads like this.

Thread closed.
 

FAQ: Can Someone Explain the Derivation of This Pink Equation?

What is the process of deriving an equation?

The process of deriving an equation involves starting with a set of known principles or equations and using logical reasoning and mathematical operations to arrive at a new equation that accurately represents a relationship or phenomenon.

Why is it important to understand how an equation is derived?

Understanding how an equation is derived allows for a deeper understanding of the underlying principles and assumptions that the equation is based on. It also allows for the ability to make modifications or adjustments to the equation if necessary.

How do you know if an equation is derived correctly?

An equation is considered to be derived correctly if it follows a logical and consistent path from the known principles to the new equation. It should also be in agreement with experimental data and be able to make accurate predictions.

Can an equation be derived in multiple ways?

Yes, there can be multiple ways to derive an equation depending on the starting principles and the mathematical operations used. However, the end result should be the same if the equation is derived correctly.

Is there a specific order in which equations should be derived?

There is no specific order in which equations should be derived, but it is important to start with the most fundamental principles and build upon them to arrive at more complex equations. This ensures that the derived equations are based on solid foundations.
