Question
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 300K, find the energy of the acceptor levels above the valence band.
✓

Answer

2KT = Energy gap between acceptor band and valency band

$\Rightarrow2\times1.38\times10^{-23}\times300$

$\Rightarrow\text{E}=(2\times1.38\times3)\times10^{21}\text{J}$

$=\frac{6\times1.38}{1.6}\times\frac{10^{-21}}{10^{-19}}\text{eV}=\Big(\frac{6\times1.38}{1.6}\Big)\times10^{-2}\text{eV}$

$=5.175\times10^{-2}\text{eV}=51.75\text{meV}=50\text{meV}.$

A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).

  1. Find an expression of range on the plane surface (distance on the plane from the point of projection at which particle will hit the surface).
(Hint: This problem can be solved in two different ways:

  1. Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
  2. We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, gx along the plane and gy perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)
