T₀ Extraction Calculator

Paste threshold-current vs. temperature data. The calculator fits $\ln I_{th}$ vs. $T$ and returns the characteristic temperature $T_0$ and pre-exponential $I_0$, with the residual R².

Two columns. Comma, space, or tab separated. Lines starting with # are ignored.

Fit method: linear least-squares on ln(Ith) vs. T (K). T0 = 1 / slope. I0 = exp(intercept). All data stays in your browser.
