B Field distribution in semiconductors

Click For Summary
Field distribution in semiconductors is influenced by polarized carriers, such as electrons and holes, which screen the electric field. The Debye length is a key concept in understanding this screening effect. The discussion highlights that the electric field approaches zero at infinity, raising questions about the implications of this behavior. A recommendation for further reading includes "The PN Junction Diode" by Gerold W. Neudeck for a deeper understanding of pn junctions. The model of Debye length is suggested as a more convenient approach to analyze carrier distribution.

TL;DR
Field distribution in the semiconductor.
Hello for everyone. I have a question according the field distribution in the semiconductor while the field effect. According to logic, the field is scrreened due to the field of the polarized carriers like electrons and holes. I know about the Debiye length. And that the field on the infinity equals to zero. What is meant under the last topic? What is the real destribution of the carriers of both types?

It sounds like what you are asking for is a good primer on pn junctions. I recommend the book The PN Junction Diode by Gerold W. Neudeck which is volume 2 of the Modular Series on Solid State Devices.

Thank You very much/ I will check this book. But the answer is easier. It is more convinient to use the model of Debieye length.
 
A relative asked me about the following article: Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03028-y I pointed my relative to following article: Scientists Discovered a Time Crystal That Reveals a New Way to Order Time https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scientists-discovered-time-crystal-reveals-180055389.html This area is outside of my regular experience. I'm interested in radiation effects in polycrystalline material, i.e., grain...
