Activity Coefficient And The Einstein Relation, Peter T. Landsberg, Albert G. Guy Jul 1983

Activity Coefficient And The Einstein Relation, Peter T. Landsberg, Albert G. Guy

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

A connection between the activity coefficient of current carriers and the Einstein relations is established by two methods, one based on normal semiconductor concepts and one based on irreversible thermodynamics. The connection holds for all densities of states, for Fermi degeneracy, and in the presence of heavy doping.
