Thank you, Helmut. This is valuable info for me.

But one would have to carefully measure various real LEDs that are candidates, then tweak the Spice model to match each one. It's a lot easier to just try it. Does Spice account for the temperature coefficient of Rs? -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc Science teaches us to doubt. Claude Bernard

Hello John, You can adjust the temperature coefficient with the parameter EG in the diode's SPICE model. Eg is 1.11 by default. Simply change this number a little bit until you get the temperature coefficient you need. Examples: .model LED_GREEN D(Is=8.2e-25 N=1.46 Rs=5.1 Eg=2.23) .model LED_RED D(Is=2.4e-20 N=1.655 Rs=1.5 Eg=2.17) Regards, Helmut

That certainly IS an interesting question. It's approximately zero. The electrons in a superconductor do not share heat with the lattice because they've become decoupled: the superconducting transition turns thermal conductivity off, and is a useful thermal switch. Mobile electrons carry heat, but not mobile Cooper pairs of electrons.

The people who don't regard John Larkin as a jerk have to be insensible people - insensitive to his egomania and fatuous point scoring. John Larkin's idea of "sensible" is much the same as his idea of "correct" - something or somebody he agrees with. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

Explaining the conductivity of metals was one of the first successes of quantum mechanics. I think the classical prediction for metal conductivity is off by a factor of ~100. (Why don't the electrons scatter more in a metal?) George H.

Looky. Here is John Larkin, expressing his very TrumpLike&#4294967295; unprofessional, immature self... again. You are always stupid, and always childish. Just like Trump.
