Equilibrium{ }

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ }

Functionality

If present, equilibrium condition is assumed for the Green’s functions. That is, the lesser Green’s function is equal to the spectral function multiplied by the Fermi-Dirac distribution.

Example
Equilibrium{
    Fermi = 2.0
    Broadening = 30
}

The following keywords are available within this group.


Fermi

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ Fermi }

Properties
  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • unit: \(\mathrm{eV}\)

Functionality

Sets the Fermi energy.


Broadening

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ Broadening }

Properties
  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • unit: \(\mathrm{meV}\)

Functionality

If present, sets the phenomenological broadening parameter for the Green’s functions and switches off the scattering calculation.


SplitFermi

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ SplitFermi }

Properties
  • choices: yes; no

  • default: no

Functionality

If yes, splits the Fermi level for electrons and holes by the potential drop per period.


FermiElectron

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ FermiElectron }

Properties
  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • unit: \(\mathrm{eV}\)

Dependencies

Requires EnergyBorderElectronHole.

Functionality

If SplitFermi = no, sets the quasi-Fermi energy for electrons.


FermiHole

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ FermiHole }

Properties
  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • unit: \(\mathrm{eV}\)

Dependencies

Requires EnergyBorderElectronHole.

Functionality

If SplitFermi = no, sets the quasi-Fermi energy for holes.


EnergyBorderElectronHole

Calling sequence

Equilibrium{ EnergyBorderElectronHole }

Properties
  • type: \(\mathrm{real\;number}\)

  • unit: \(\mathrm{eV}\)

Functionality

Sets the energy border for distinguishing electrons and holes. It is used in the energy integration of carrier densities as well as for the background density calculation if AssumeIntrinsicNeutrality is yes.
