A simple insulator has a band gap of 4.0 eV, and the Fermi
energy may be taken to reside in the middle of the gap. Estimate
the probability of an electron at room temperature being in the
conduction band.
Doping changes the Fermi energy of a semiconductor. Consider
silicon, with a gap of 1.11 eV between the top of the valence band
and the bottom of the conduction band. At 300 K the Fermi level of
the pure material is nearly at the midpoint of the gap. Suppose
that silicon is doped with donor atoms, each of which has a state
0.13 eV below the bottom of the silicon conduction band, and
suppose further that doping raises the Fermi...
The fermi function value is non zero within the band gap of a
semiconductor. if the fermi level is within the band gap. Do you
expect electrons or holes to populate
energy states within the band gap? If yes, why? If not, why?
In an n-type semiconductor, the Fermi level lies 0.5 eV below
the conduction band. If the conduction of donor atoms is tripled,
find the new position of the Fermi level, given KT = 0.03 eV.
The Fermi energy for copper is EF = 7.00 eV. For copper at T =

of being occupied by an electron is 0.933. For this energy,
evaluate (b) the density of states N(E) and (c) the density of
occupied states No(E).

Solar cell A uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV.
Solar cell B uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.0 eV. Either
cell is thick enough to absorb all the light above its band gap
energy. Both cells can work together simultaneously with one on top
of the other to operate more efficiently in a small space. But
which cell has to be on top (first to receive sunlight) for both to
work simultaneously and...
