Conventional explanation of basic Semiconductor & Diode behavior unconvincing

In questions 1 & 2, you seem to assume that the positive terminal connected to the n-type region of the diode in reverse bias is injecting holes into the device, while the negative one connected to th …

What determines the forward voltage drop for a diode?

By inverting the Shockley equation of the diode, you can easily obtain the forward voltage drop as a function of the current: $$V_D(I) \approx \frac{kT}{e} \,ln \frac{I}{I_0}.$$ The "turn-on voltage …

Where does a LED use energy other than emitting light?

What your formula is actually meant to give is the emission wavelength as a function of the material bandgap: $$\lambda \approx \frac{\rm1240\,eV\,nm}{E_{gap}}.$$ In your example, when carriers reco …
