//Position of Fermi energy at 0K // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 1-10 in page 34 clear; clc; close; // Data given h=1.5*10^-34; // Constant of calculation in Js m_c=0.067*0.91*10^-30; // Effective mass of conduction electron in Kg n_0=10^24; // Electron concentration at 0K /m^3 // Calculation E_f= ((h^2*(3*%pi^2*n_0)^(2/3))/(2*m_c)); A=E_f/(1.6*10^-19); printf("Position of Fermi level at 0K is %0.4f eV",A); // Result // Fermi energy at 0K as measured from edge of conduction band is 0.11 eV // Fermi energy is placed 0.11 eV above the edge of conduction band // Fermi energy is within the conduction band
