Hello all, I am a beginner in Matlab. I want to solve the above equation numerically to calculate the value of phi0. below is the list of parameters involved. I tried to solve using fsolve function but could not get the solution, because I could not solve the left hand side term with integral. please help me finding the solution.I Will appericiate the help from bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Nd=10^17;

Ld = 1.6923e-05;

T=500;

K=1.3807*10^-23;

r=40*10^-9;

Nt=10^13;

Et-Ef= 1.21*1.6*10^-19

R=40*10^-9;

V= 4*pi*r^3

Sir, The integration on left hand side is the volume integral of a spherical grain. from V=0 to V=4*pi*r^3 where r= 40*10^-9.

How is the integral rewritten as an integration over r ? Furthermore, the right-hand side cannot depend on "r" since this is the integration variable and will cancel out during integration.

Confusing. That usually means the person is also confused.

We are shown an integral on the left hand side. It is an integral over the variable V. V appears in the integrand only as dV. I see Nd (known), also R (known) Ld (known.) Only phi0 is missing and unknown in there. But IF phi0 WERE known, then it would be a constant, NOT a function of V, the variable of integration.

So the left integral is trivial to compute, even on paper. The integral of a constant over fixed, known limits is simple. If C is the value of the constant, then the integral of the left hand side is just

4/3*pi*R^3*C

Yes, C is a function of phi0. Why do I care? Once phi0 is known, then it is a constant, so not impacting the value of the integral, and it is clearly not a function of V.

How about the right hand side? Again, all known. The right hand side is a number. Computatable.

In the end, you can do the algebra. You will find an expression of the form

C(phi0) = D

But C(phi0) is trivially solved using a little algebra and the log function. Again, paper and pencil will suffice, were I not too lazy, but this is your problem to solve, not mine, and MATLAB is not even required. You don't need fsolve. You don't even need a computer to solve it. Lets see

4/3*pi*R^3*Nd*(1-exp(-phi0*sinh(r/Ld)/(r/Ld))) = 4*pi*R^2*(Nt/stuff)

I left part of that as just "stuff". But you get the hint. The 4 cancels. The pi cancels. We get

1 - exp(-phi0*sinh(r/Ld)/(r/Ld)) = 3/R*Nt/(Nd*stuff)

Move some more stuff around, take the log. Then solve for phi0. WTP? Using fsolve here is like using a Mack truck to carry a pea to Boston.
