For this equation to be valid, the device must operate with a single type of charge carrier, have no traps that could affect carrier mobility, and feature Ohmic contacts that allow for linear current flow. Understanding these conditions is crucial for accurately applying the Mott-Gurney equation in semiconductor physics."}
