tidy3d.IsotropicEffectiveDOS

class IsotropicEffectiveDOS

Bases: EffectiveDOS

Effective density of states model that assumes single valley and isotropic effective mass. The model assumes the standard equation for the 3D semiconductor with parabolic energy dispersion:

Parameters:

m_eff (PositiveFloat) – Effective mass of the carriers relative to the electron mass at rest

Notes

\[\mathbf{N_eff} = 2 * (\frac{m_eff * m_e * k_B T}{2 \pi \hbar^2})^(3/2)\]
