Semiconductor Physics Using Arrows: Ohm's Law, Density of States, Mobility and Conductivity from the Arrow Maxwell Equations

Ohm's law in its usual form, a current proportional to the electric field, does not describe a semiconductor device; therefore Shockley's equations replace it. They rest on empirical parameters: a mobility measured for each material and fitted to the field, a diffusion coefficient tied to it, and the carriers' lifetime...
