Calculating Charge Carrier Density in Materials: Formula and Table of Values

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a formula or table for calculating charge carrier density in materials, particularly for metals and semiconductors. Participants share a link to a resource containing relevant formulas, emphasizing the need to focus on the formulas rather than images. There is mention of the complexities involved in studying physics due to the differing properties of materials. One user expresses interest in graphite and seeks charge carrier density values for a Hall probe project. A specific example of charge carrier density in TaN is provided, prompting further inquiry about the calculation method.

I've been trying to find a formula for calculating charge carrier density of a material, or a table of values , but can't seem to find any. If anyone knows of a link to a formula or table, any help would be welcome.

Thanks,
Plas

there's no general formula since metals and semiconductors have very different properities. did you have metals or semicondutors in mind or both?

ps : look at the formula's, NOT the pictures... Remain focussed...It is not easy to study physics

haha. we used that page at a solid state physics course I took.

Baby, hit me one more time.
 
I was actually wondering about graphite, ex70 in particular (1.85 g/cm2).

Basically, I'm trying to find good materials for a Hall probe project I'm working on, and I'm considering what I have laying around, but can't find values for anything I have.

how?

I find this
In TaN, each Ta atom contributes three electrons to the N 2p band and two electrons to the 5d conduction band, resulting in a charge carrier density n = 9.7 X 10to power 22 cm−3
how? any idea?
