Notes Concentration of holes in the valance band of p type semi conductor In a p-type semiconductor, the concentration of holes in the valence band is higher than the concentration of free electrons in the conduction band. This is because the p-type semiconductor ...
Notes Concentration of electrons in the conduction band in n type semi conductor In an n-type semiconductor, the concentration of holes in the valence band is low, while the concentration of free electrons in the conduction band is high. This is because the ...
Notes Effective mass of an electron in solids In solid-state physics, the concept of effective mass is used to describe the behavior of electrons in a crystal lattice. The effective mass of an electron in a solid is ...
Notes Behaviour of an electron in a periodic potential Kronig Penny Model illustrates the behaviour of electrons in a periodic potential. It assumes that the potential energy of an electron is a linear array of positive nuclei which has ...
