Continuity equation for electrons

continuity equation for electrons; for use in semiconductor physics

Formula(s) and Quantities

$- q \partial_{t} n (ψ, ϕ_{n}) + \nabla \cdot 𝐣_{n} = q R (ψ, ϕ_{n}, ϕ_{p})$
$R$ represents recombination rate for electron hole pairs
$ϕ_{n}$ represents quasi-Fermi potential for electrons
$ϕ_{p}$ represents quasi-Fermi potential for holes
$ψ$ represents electric potential
$𝐣_{n}$ represents electric current density of electrons
$q$ represents elementary charge
$n$ represents electron density
