Calculate the number of states per cubic metre of sodium in 3s band. The density of sodium is 1013 kgm−3. How many of them are empty?
उत्तर
Density of sodium, d = 1013 \[\text{ kg/ m}^3\]
Volume, V = 1m3
We know that 23 g sodium contains 6 atoms, so the number of atoms in 1023 kg sodium will be
\[\frac{1013 \times {10}^3 \times 6 \times {10}^{23}}{23}\]
\[ = \left( \frac{1013 \times 6}{23} \right) \times {10}^{26} \]
\[ = 264 . 26 \times {10}^{26}\]
(a) As the number of maximum possible electrons that can occupy the 3s band is 2, the total number of states in the 3s band will be
\[N = 2 \times 264 . 26 \times {10}^{26} \]
\[ = 528 . 52 \times {10}^{26} \approx 5 . 3 \times {10}^{28}\]
(b) As the atomic number of sodium is 11, its electronic configuration is \[1 s^2 , 2 s^2 , 2 p^6 , 3 s^1\] .
This implies that the 3s band is half-filled in case of sodium, so the total number of unoccupied states is 2.65 × 1028.

When a semiconducting material is doped with an impurity, new acceptor levels are created. In a particular thermal collision, a valence electron receives an energy equal to 2kT and just reaches one of the acceptor levels. Assuming that the energy of the electron was at the top edge of the valence band and that the temperature T is equal to 300 K, find the energy of the acceptor levels above the valence band.

A semiconducting material has a band gap of 1 eV. Acceptor impurities are doped into it which create acceptor levels 1 meV above the valence band. Assume that the transition from one energy level to the other is almost forbidden if kT is less than 1/50 of the energy gap. Also if kT is more than twice the gap, the upper levels have maximum population. The temperature of the semiconductor is increased from 0 K. The concentration of the holes increases with temperature and after a certain temperature it becomes approximately constant. As the temperature is further increased, the hole concentration again starts increasing at a certain temperature. Find the order of the temperature range in which the hole concentration remains approximately constant.
