  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. Periodic boundary conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_boundary_conditions

    An object which has passed through one face of the simulation box should re-enter through the opposite face—or its image should do it. Evidently, a strategic decision must be made: Do we (A) “fold back” particles into the simulation box when they leave it, or do we (B) let them go on (but compute interactions with the nearest images)?

  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. Poisson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_equation

    Siméon Denis Poisson. Poisson's equation is an elliptic partial differential equation of broad utility in theoretical physics.For example, the solution to Poisson's equation is the potential field caused by a given electric charge or mass density distribution; with the potential field known, one can then calculate the corresponding electrostatic or gravitational (force) field.

  9. Percolation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_theory

    In this model all bonds are independent. This model is called bond percolation by physicists. A generalization was next introduced as the Fortuin–Kasteleyn random cluster model, which has many connections with the Ising model and other Potts models. Bernoulli (bond) percolation on complete graphs is an example of a random graph.
