Notes

  1. 1.

    If an external voltage is applied, conduction band electrons and valence band holes are no longer in thermodynamic equilibrium. However, intraband carrier-scattering processes are so fast [9] that the carriers thermalize within each band. This means that each ensemble of carriers (electron and holes) can be described by a quasi-Fermi distribution, where the difference of both quasi-Fermi levels equals the external voltage times the elementary charge.
