We have valence electrons and conduction electrons in a semiconductor. Do we also have "valence holes" and "conduction holes"?

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 ?

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

Suppose, the daughter nucleus in a nuclear decay is itself radioactive. Let lambda_p and lambda_d be the decay constants of the parent and the daughter nuclei. Also, let N_p and N_d be the number of parent and daughter nuclei at time t . Find the condition for which the number of daughter nuclei becomes constant.

In semiconductors, thermal collisions are responsible for taking a valence electorn to the conduction band.Why does the number of conduction electrons not go on increasing with time as thermal collisions continuously take place?

How many free electrons does a p-type semiconductor contain ?

When a p-type impurity is doped in a semiconductor, a large number of holes are created. This does not make the semiconductor charged. But when holes diffuse from the p-side to the n-side in a p-n junction,the n-side gets positvely charged.Explain.
