named after Siméon Denis Poisson

Description

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

Defining Formula: $-{ϵ}_s(\frac{{\psi }_{k+1}-{\psi }_k}{h_{k,k+1}}-\frac{{\psi }_k-{\psi }_{k-1}}{h_{k-1,k}})=q(C_k+p({\psi }_k,{\varphi }_{p;k})-n({\psi }_k,{\varphi }_{n;k}))|{\omega }_k|$

${ϵ}_s$ represents permittivity

${\omega }_k$ represents control volume

$\psi$ represents electric potential
