……… 3
R= ……….4
: is the electric field , and is the electrical
resistivity.
…………5 , J= …………6
J= ……..8
Comparing (8) with Ohm's law (6), one
finds the following expression for the conductivity.
σ = ne μd …..10
where μd = = d / ……..11
μd: is drift mobility , it's unit m2 V-1S-1
Note: μd is – Ve for electrons
& is + Ve for holes
=𝜆m / sth = 𝜆m /(3kBT/m)½
substitute in Eq. 9 , we get:
