fano_factor_inf

optika.sensors.fano_factor_inf(temperature=<Quantity 300. K>)

The asymptotic Fano factor in silicon given by Ramanathan and Kurinsky [2020].

Parameters:

temperature (Quantity | ScalarArray) – The temperature of the silicon.

Return type:

ScalarArray

Notes

Ramanathan and Kurinsky [2020] gives the mean Fano factor as

\[\epsilon_{eh} = -0.028 E_g + 0.0015 A + 0.14,\]

where \(E_g\) is the bandgap energy of silicon calculated using energy_bandgap() and \(A = 5.2 \, \text{eV}^2\).
