Quantum Capacitance - Theory

Theory

In the general case 2D-density of states in a solid could be defined by the following:

, (1)

where is a current carrier's effective mass in a solid, is the electron mass, and is a dimensionless parameter which considers the zone structure of a solid. So, the quantum capacitance can be defined as follows:

, (2)

where - the ‘‘ideal value’’ of quantum capacitance at and another ideal quantum capacitance:

, (3)

where dielectric constant, fine structure constant and Compton wave length of electron, first defined by Yakymakha (1994) ) in the spectroscopic investigations of the silicon MOSFETs.

Famous quotes containing the word theory:

    Psychotherapy—The theory that the patient will probably get well anyway, and is certainly a damned ijjit.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The weakness of the man who, when his theory works out into a flagrant contradiction of the facts, concludes “So much the worse for the facts: let them be altered,” instead of “So much the worse for my theory.”
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
