The Masetti bulk mobility model is used to simulate the doping dependent mobility in Si and takes into account the scattering of the carriers by charged impurity ions which leads to a degradation of the carrier mobility (ionized impurity scattering). This model is temperature independent and the parameters are given for 300 K. Thus it is only valid for 300 K.

     => (Here we have to insert the equation for the mobility.)

The total concentration of ionized impurities is given by ND+NA where ND and NA are the concentration of ionized donors or acceptors, respectively.
Note: In nextnano++ we use the nominal dopant concentration as specified in the input file and not the ionized one.
µconst is the result of mobility_constant{}.
The low-doping reference mobility µconstn,p is determined by the constant mobility-model (i.e. the values in the database under keyword mobility_constant{} are the same as under this keyword). It is a model that combines lattice and impurity scattering.
