Charge carrier concentration

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012967",
  "term": "Charge carrier concentration",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The number of mobile charge carriers, such as electrons or holes, per unit volume within a material. This quantity dictates the material's electrical conductivity and is a fundamental property in semiconductors and conductive polymers. It is typically expressed in units of inverse cubic centimeters (cm⁻³).",
