Hey, Little confused by something: if we have u=x+y and v=xy what is the partial derivative w.r.t. u of y^2=uy-v I am told it is 2y (dy/du) = u (dy/du) + y And I can see where these terms come from. What I don't understand is why there is no (dv/du) term, as v and u aren't independent...

Hi, Could someone explain how to calculate the probability that two substitutional dopants will reside in adjacent lattice sites. For example, given a dopant concentration of 5% and a crystal structure in which each lattice site/atom is coordinated to 8 others what is the probability of...
