## Overview

This repository contains the code and results for modeling the transition from field emission to space-charge-limited current (SCLC) in semiconductors. The study explores the behavior of current conduction under varying electron emission conditions, based on the Fowler-Nordheim and Child-Langmuir laws.

## Project Background

The research investigates how current conduction transitions from field emission to SCLC, which is crucial for applications in both low-current devices (like EMP-resilient electronics) and high-current industrial systems. The models account for both collision and non-collision scenarios, providing valuable insights for semiconductor design.

## Key Models

- *JV-model.py:* Simulates J-V characteristics under different emission conditions.

- *lau-model.py:* Models SCLC using Fowler-Nordheim and Child-Langmuir laws.

- *thermionic-v2.py:* Focuses on thermionic emission processes.

## How to Use

### Prerequisites

Install the required libraries:

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

### Running the Scripts

- *JV-model.py:* Run with python JV-model.py to generate J-V plots.

- *lau-model.py:* Execute with python lau-model.py for log-log J(E) vs. V(E) plots.

- *thermionic-v2.py:* Run python thermionic-v2.py for thermionic emission analysis.

## Future Work

Plans include refining the models for broader applications and incorporating more complex emission surfaces.
