But this also makes it difficult to identify if the changes in the concentration is accurate or some numerical artifact. I would suggest you to change the scale to signed log, then lock the color bar, and then look at the carriers for different voltages. If you do this, does the change looks reasonable or unexpected?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/27-11-2023-1701115249-mceclip1.png\" width=\"702\" height=\"617\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br&gt;Amrita&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-319642","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hi Sungmin,I heard back from the R&amp;D team.
