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:
“There never comes a point where a theory can be said to be true. The most that one can claim for any theory is that it has shared the successes of all its rivals and that it has passed at least one test which they have failed.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
“Won’t this whole instinct matter bear revision?
Won’t almost any theory bear revision?
To err is human, not to, animal.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
