At a glance:λ_D = √(εkT/(n e²)); the electrostatic screening length. Complements plasma-frequency and electron-density.
Formula
λ_D = √(ε·k·T / (n·e²)).
$$\lambda_D = \sqrt{\frac{\varepsilon_0 k_B T}{n e^2}}$$How to Use
- Enter T and density.
- The tool returns the Debye length.
Case Studies
T=300, n=1e16
λ_D ≈ 0.041 mm.
FAQ
Longer λ_D?
Means weaker screening — charge felt farther away.
