hybrid parameters or h - parameters- if the input current that is denoted as i1 and output voltage that is denoted as v2 are takes as independent
mixed mode simulator the circuit is preprocessed the test points and waveform markers are located in input and output of the circuit gnd net is set
effective massthe electrons wave-particle motion in a lattice is not the same as that for a free electron because of the interaction with the
charge carriers in semiconductors in a metal the atoms are imbedded in a sea of free electrons and these electrons can move as a group under the
metals semiconductors and insulators for electrons to move within an applied electric field there have to be states available to them a totally
