    Intrinsic carrier concentration formula

    In the ni=\sqrt{Nc*Nv}*e^{\frac{-Eg}{2kT}} formula for intrinsic carrier concentration, what values Nc,Nv and Eg take in relation to temperature? Are they each calculated for that temperature or, for example, is Eg always taken for 300K? My guess is they should all be calculated for given...

    Boltzmann constant in formulas

    On the web you usually see 300K as room temperature. I guess it depends on one's preference? :D

    Boltzmann constant in formulas

    Thank you, Bob! I used the eV form before but I saw some different results on the web and just wasn't sure why is there always a slightly different value for ni, depending on which website you look.

    Boltzmann constant in formulas

    Hi, I see that Boltzmann constant comes in different forms like: k=8.62*10-5 eV/K and also k=1.38*10-23J/K. Which one should I use in , say formula for intrinsic carrier concentration ni = sqrt(Nc*Nv)*e-Eg(T)/2kT ?
