Used within the Scharfetter-Gummel finite volume disretization scheme which is the standard numerical method for solving the van Roosbroeck system.

$- ϵ_{s} (\frac{ψ_{k + 1} - ψ_{k}}{h_{k, k + 1}} - \frac{ψ_{k} - ψ_{k - 1}}{h_{k - 1, k}}) = q (C_{k} + p (ψ_{k}, ϕ_{p; k}) - n (ψ_{k}, ϕ_{n; k})) \| ω_{k} \|$
$ϵ_{s}$ represents permittivity
$ω_{k}$ represents control volume
$ψ$ represents electric potential
