  2. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    The number density (symbol: n or ρ N) is an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects (particles, molecules, phonons, cells, galaxies, etc.) in physical space: three-dimensional volumetric number density, two-dimensional areal number density, or one-dimensional linear number density.

  3. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.

  4. Electron density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_density

    Spin density is electron density applied to free radicals. It is defined as the total electron density of electrons of one spin minus the total electron density of the electrons of the other spin. One of the ways to measure it experimentally is by electron spin resonance, [14] neutron diffraction allows direct mapping of the spin density in 3D ...

  6. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    Static electricity is caused by surface charges consisting of electrons and ions near the surface of objects, and the space charge in a vacuum tube is composed of a cloud of free electrons moving randomly in space. The charge carrier density in a conductor is equal to the number of mobile charge carriers (electrons, ions, etc.) per unit volume ...

  7. Drift velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity

    The formula for evaluating the drift velocity of charge carriers in a material of constant cross-sectional area is given by: [1] =, where u is the drift velocity of electrons, j is the current density flowing through the material, n is the charge-carrier number density, and q is the charge on the charge-carrier.

  8. Free electron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_electron_model

    where is the current density, is the external electric field, is the electronic density (number of electrons/volume), is the mean free time and is the electron electric charge. Other quantities that remain the same under the free electron model as under Drude's are the AC susceptibility, the plasma frequency , the magnetoresistance , and the ...

  9. Total electron content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_electron_content

    TEC is the total number of electrons integrated between two points, along a tube of one meter squared cross section, i.e., the electron columnar number density. It is often reported in multiples of the so-called TEC unit, defined as TECU=10 16 el/m 2 ≈ 1.66 × 10 −8 mol⋅m −2. [1]
