o The four currents IEN, IEI, ICN, and ICI can also be written in the following way:
I EN I ES (eeVEB / kT 1) (11)
I CN N I EN N I ES (eeVEB / kT 1) (12)
I CI I CS (eeVCB / kT 1) (13)
I EI I I CI I I CS (eeVCB / kT 1) (14)
I E I EN I EI I ES eeVEB / kT 1 I I CS eeVCB / kT 1 (15)
I C I CN I CI N I ES eeVEB / kT 1 I CS eeVCB / kT 1 (16)
… these are the Ebers-Moll Equations
