Equilibrium Statistics of Semiconductors
Chapter
Abstract
Intrinsic semiconductors are discussed and electron distribution functions are given. Electron and hole concentration in equilibrium is elaborated. Born-Karman boundary condition is discussed; constant energy surfaces are shown. Density of states are discussed. Statistical distribution functions; Boltzmann and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions are elaborated.
