[[Image(dd1.png, 500px)]] By completing the Drift-Diffusion Lab in [[Resource(5065)]], you will be able to: a) understand the phenomenon of drift and diffusion, b) physically and mathematically describe the basic drift and diffusion mechanisms, and c) perform light excitation experiments on a semiconductor bar. The specific objectives of the Drift-Diffusion Lab are: [[Image(dd_scheme.png, 400px)]] == Recommended Reading == If you have not had experience with basic drift and diffusion mechanisms, here is a list of resources that will help you obtain the required level of knowledge. 1.
