The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature

Assertion: The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature decrease exponentially with increasing band gap. Reason: It will be more difficult for the electron to cross over the large band gap while going from valence band to conduction band.

Thermal speed v of free electrons in a conductor at absolute temperaure T is proportional to

The de - Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T ("kelvin") and mass m , is

The de - Broglie wavelength of a neutron in thermal equilibrium with heavy water at a temperature T ("kelvin") and mass m , is

Assertion (A) : The electrical conductivity of a semiconductor increases with increase in temperature. Reason (R ) : With increase in temperature, large number of electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band.

Assertion : The electrons in the conduction band have higher energy than those in the valence band of a semiconductor Reason : The conduction band lies above the energy gap and valence band lies below the energy gap.

The energy gaps (E_(g)) between valence band and conduction band for diamond, silicon and germanium are in the order

Let (Delta)E denote the energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band.The population of conduction electrons (and of the holes)is roughly proportional to e^(-Delta E//2kT). Find the ratio of the concentration of conduction electrons in diamond to that in silicon at room tempareture 300K. (Delta E) for silicon is 1.1 ev and for diamond is 6.0eV.How many conduction electrons are likely to be in one cubic meter of diamond ?
