ABSTRACT The concepts of the recently proposed “generalized field theory” — a theory which attempts to differentiate completely between active and passive transport processes—are applied to

forward conduction in _p_–_n_ junctions. The predictions of the theory agree very closely with the results of experiments. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview
