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

\[N_{\text{eff}} = 2 \left( \frac{m_{\text{eff}} \cdot m_e \cdot k_B T}{2 \pi \hbar^2} \right)^{3/2}\]
