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:

    The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
    Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
