There is even controversy over the applicable characteristic length scale: whether it is the so-called Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) coherence length, or a much smaller length that is inversely proportional to the Fermi energy of the system.
The majority electron density as a function of the Fermi energy is calculated in zinc blende, n-type GaSb for donor densities between [10.
