  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. 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.

  5. James M. Early - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_M._Early

    The Early effect in bipolar junction transistors is named after Jim Early, who first characterized it and published a paper on it in 1952. [1] The Early effect in bipolar junction transistors is due to an effective decrease in the base width because of the widening of the base-collector depletion region, resulting in an increase in the ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Ray casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting

    Ray-cast image of idealized universal joint with shadow. Ray casting is the methodological basis for 3D CAD/CAM solid modeling and image rendering. It is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics where virtual light rays are "cast" or "traced" on their path from the focal point of a camera through each pixel in the camera sensor to determine what is visible along the ray in the ...

  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.
