tidy3d.IsotropicEffectiveDOS

class IsotropicEffectiveDOS

Bases: EffectiveDOS

Effective density of states model that assumes single valley and isotropic effective mass. The model assumes the standard equation for the 3D semiconductor with parabolic energy dispersion:

Parameters:

• attrs (dict = {}) – Dictionary storing arbitrary metadata for a Tidy3D object. This dictionary can be freely used by the user for storing data without affecting the operation of Tidy3D as it is not used internally. Note that, unlike regular Tidy3D fields, attrs are mutable. For example, the following is allowed for setting an attr obj.attrs['foo'] = bar. Also note that Tidy3D will raise a TypeError if attrs contain objects that can not be serialized. One can check if attrs are serializable by calling obj.json().

• m_eff (PositiveFloat) – Effective mass of the carriers relative to the electron mass at rest

Notes

\[\mathbf{N_eff} = 2 * (\frac{m_eff * m_e * k_B T}{2 \pi \hbar^2})^(3/2)\]
