  2. Space charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_charge

    This model typically applies when charge carriers have been emitted from some region of a solid—the cloud of emitted carriers can form a space charge region if they are sufficiently spread out, or the charged atoms or molecules left behind in the solid can form a space charge region. Space charge effects are most pronounced in dielectric ...

  3. Depletion region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depletion_region

    In semiconductor physics, the depletion region, also called depletion layer, depletion zone, junction region, space charge region, or space charge layer, is an insulating region within a conductive, doped semiconductor material where the mobile charge carriers have diffused away, or been forced away by an electric field. The only elements left ...

  4. Debye sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye_sheath

    The thickness of such a layer is several Debye lengths thick, a value whose size depends on various characteristics of plasma (e.g. temperature, density, etc.). A Debye sheath arises in a plasma because the electrons usually have a temperature on the order of magnitude or greater than that of the ions and are much lighter.

  5. Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars...

    In dielectric spectroscopy, large frequency dependent contributions to the dielectric response, especially at low frequencies, may come from build-ups of charge.This Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars polarization (or often just Maxwell–Wagner polarization), occurs either at inner dielectric boundary layers on a mesoscopic scale, or at the external electrode-sample interface on a macroscopic scale.

  6. Electric-field screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric-field_screening

    Viewed from a large distance, this screening hole has the effect of an overlaid positive charge which cancels the electric field produced by the electron. Only at short distances, inside the hole region, can the electron's field be detected. For a plasma, this effect can be made explicit by an -body calculation.

  7. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    When recombination in the space-charge region dominate other recombination, however, n = 2. The effect of changing ideality factor independently of all other parameters is shown for a crystalline silicon solar cell in the I-V curves displayed in the figure to the right.

  8. DLVO theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLVO_theory

    In 1923, Peter Debye and Erich Hückel reported the first successful theory for the distribution of charges in ionic solutions. [7] The framework of linearized Debye–Hückel theory subsequently was applied to colloidal dispersions by S. Levine and G. P. Dube [8] [9] who found that charged colloidal particles should experience a strong medium-range repulsion and a weaker long-range attraction.

  9. Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su–Schrieffer–Heeger_model

    In condensed matter physics, the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model or SSH chain is a one-dimensional lattice model that presents topological features. [1] It was devised by Wu-Pei Su, John Robert Schrieffer, and Alan J. Heeger in 1979, to describe the increase of electrical conductivity of polyacetylene polymer chain when doped, based on the existence of solitonic defects.
