This repository contains the code and results for modeling the transition from field emission to space-charge-limited current (SCLC) in semiconductors. The study explores the behavior of current conduction under varying electron emission conditions, based on the Fowler-Nordheim and Child-Langmuir laws.
The research investigates how current conduction transitions from field emission to SCLC, which is crucial for applications in both low-current devices (like EMP-resilient electronics) and high-current industrial systems. The models account for both collision and non-collision scenarios, providing valuable insights for semiconductor design.
- JV-model.py: Simulates J-V characteristics under different emission conditions.
- lau-model.py: Models SCLC using Fowler-Nordheim and Child-Langmuir laws.
- thermionic-v2.py: Focuses on thermionic emission processes.
Install the required libraries:
pip install -r requirements.txt- JV-model.py: Run with python JV-model.py to generate J-V plots.
- lau-model.py: Execute with python lau-model.py for log-log J(E) vs. V(E) plots.
- thermionic-v2.py: Run python thermionic-v2.py for thermionic emission analysis.
Plans include refining the models for broader applications and incorporating more complex emission surfaces.
