Boltzmann approximation for electrons; for use in semiconductor physics, named after Ludwig Boltzmann

Defining Formula: $n(\psi ,{\varphi }_n)=N_c\exp \left(\frac{q(\psi -{\varphi }_n)-E_c}{k_{B}T}\right)$

$q$ represents elementary charge

$E_c$ represents band edge energy for conduction band

$N_c$ represents density of states for conduction band

$T$ represents temperature

${\varphi }_n$ represents Fermi potential for electrons

$\psi$ represents electric potential

$k_B$ represents Boltzmann constant

$n$ represents electron density
