adding/removing an electron from a semi conductor doping
50%
surface in reciprocal space that separates filled and unfilled states at absolute zero fermi surface
50%
no 2 electrons can share the same set of quantum numbers pauli exclusion principle
50%
union of electron and hole to return to a neutral state recombination
50%
the eigenfunction of the wave equation for a periodic potential is the product of a plane wave and the potential that has the periodicity of the crystal bloch's theorem
25%
empty state in valence band due to excitation of an electron into the conduction band hole
25%
a vector that describes the translational periodicity of a lattice lattice vector
25%
region about a lattice point that is closer to that lattice point than any other Wigner seitz cell
25%
ability of a charge carrier to move through a material in response to an electric field carrier mobility
0%
electrons and holes recombine with each other resulting in no net charge carriers depletion region
0%
majority carrier diffuse into minority region and recombine with majority carriers diffusion current
0%
thermally generated minority carriers drift into the majority region, swept by built in e field drift current
0%
in a filled band as many electrons move to the left as to the right insulator
0%
total relaxation times is dependent on different sources (defects, impurities and phonons) Matthiessen rule
0%
incomplete band filling creates a Fermi surface, electric field shifts Fermi surface so not as many electrons are moving to the left as the right metal
0%
total linear momentum conserved, no heat resistance normal process
0%
one atomic species is swapped for another substitution
0%
requires high energy phonons, direction of total linear momentum is reversed, responsible for heat resistance umklapp process
0%
assuming scattering times are the same, 2 transport processes are only different by heat capacity and charge wiedemann-franz law
0%
distance between fermi level and vacuum level work function
0%
