Modeling of space charge limited current in solid by William Chandra

“…By considering the electrons are injected from an infinitely long emission strip of width W, the one-dimensional (1D) SCL current density is enhanced by a factor of 1+F X(4/phi)/(W/L), where F = 1/(l+2) measures the mean position of the injected electrons in a solid of length L, and l is the ratio of the distribution of the traps to the free carriers. …”
