The Einstein relation for diffusion and mobility in semiconductors at temperature T is which?
AD = μ - VT additive relation
BD·μ = kT/q always relation
CD = μ² · VT only relation
DD/μ = kT/q (thermal voltage)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. D/μ = kT/q (thermal voltage)
Einstein relation: D = μ·kT/q. Connects diffusion coefficient and mobility via thermal voltage. Applies separately to electrons and holes (Streetman Ch.3).
