I feel dumb that I can't figure this out. I'm sure its something simple that I'm just not seeing, but its really frustrating.
How many electrons (in percent of the total number of electrons per mole) lie KbT (ev) below the Fermi energy? Take Ef=5eV and T=300K
Not quite sure, since the Fermi function did not work.
I tried using the Fermi function and end up with values around 30%. The answer (from the back of the book) is [tex]\Delta[/tex]N/Ntot=.566%
Any ideas ?
Thanks!
