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 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)
“Freud was a hero. He descended to the “Underworld” and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusa’s head which turned these terrors to stone.”
—R.D. (Ronald David)
“Every theory is a self-fulfilling prophecy that orders experience into the framework it provides.”
—Ruth Hubbard (b. 1924)
