Yes, it varies inversely, i.e. as temperature increases the barrier potential decreases. It decreases by 2mV for degree Celsius rise of temperature.
When the temperature increases, the barrier potential in a semiconductor diode decreases. This is due to the increase in carrier density at higher temperatures, which results in more charge carriers being available to pass through the barrier. Ultimately, this leads to a lower resistance across the diode and a decrease in the potential barrier.
The barrier potential of a germanium diode typically decreases with increasing temperature due to the increase in intrinsic carrier concentration. At room temperature (around 300K), the barrier potential is usually around 0.3-0.4V for a germanium diode.
The typical value of the barrier potential for a germanium diode is around 0.3 to 0.4 volts. This barrier potential is the voltage required to overcome the potential barrier at the junction of the diode and allow current flow in the forward direction.
The energy barrier is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature at which a substance will ignite and sustain combustion. The energy barrier must be overcome for the substance to reach its ignition temperature and undergo combustion.
Magnetic potential energy is dependent on the magnetic field strength, the distance between the magnets, and the orientation of the magnets with respect to each other.
barrier potential P0=(kT/q)*ln(Na*Nd/Ni^2) when T ↑, P0↑.

The barrier potential may depend on the exact material; but you can't normally change that. It may also depend on temperature.Also, such a barrier potential is not fixed at some value (like 0.7 V); however, it's often close enough that you can consider it to be constant. But actually, the barrier potential depends on the current. At higher currents, the potential is slightly higher.
Temperature is not a factor in either kinetic or potential energy. Kinetic energy is dependent on an object's velocity, while potential energy is related to an object's position in a force field. Temperature does not directly impact these forms of energy.
The potential across a pn junction is called potential barrier because majority charge carriers have to overcome this potential before crossing the junction.
The typical value of the barrier potential for a germanium diode is around 0.3 to 0.4 volts. This barrier potential is the voltage required to overcome the potential barrier at the junction of the diode and allow current flow in the forward direction.
Breakdown voltage is far greater than barrier potential. silicon:- break-down voltage :- 5v - 450 v barrier potential ;- 0.5v to 0.7 V
The potential barrier of a diode is caused by the movement of electrons to create holes. The electrons and holes create a potential barrier, but as this voltage will not supply current, it cannot be used as a voltage source.
Potential barrier of silicon is 0.7, whereas potential barrier of germanium is 0.3
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
