Abstract

The space charge contribution to the electrostatic potential both inside and outside a dielectric slab containing a p-n junction is calculated using classical electrostatics, with particular reference to the use of phase contrast techniques in transmission electron microscopy for the characterisation of the carrier distributions present at such layers.
