// Energies of electrons in conduction band // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 1-5 in page 21 clear; clc; close; // Data given h=1.05*10^-34; // Constant of calculation Js k=0.1,0.1,0,0; // Values of k-vector m_c=0.067*0.091*10^-30; // Effective mass of conduction electron // Calculation E=(h^2*(((0.1*10^10)^2)+((0.1*10^10)^2)))/(2*m_c); A= E/(1.6*10^-19); printf("Energy of conduction electron is %0.3f eV",A); // Result // Energy of conduction electron in the vertically upward direction = 11.302 eV // The non parabolic E-k dispersion relation is more appropriate here
