Charge carrier density


Charge carrier density denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. It is measured in m−3. As any density it can depend on position. It should not be confused with the charge density, which is the number of charges per volume at a given energy.

The carrier density is obtained by integrating the charge density over the energy that the charges are allowed to have.

Charge carrier density is a particle density, so integrating it over a volume gives the number of charge carriers in that volume
