Homework Statement
Suppose that we have a Si speciment and there are Ga atom impurities of $2*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3} $.`Then, at the left side we insert As impurity atoms of $4*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$. A pn junction is created. What are $N_D$ and $N_A$ at each side of the junction?
Relevant Equations
$$n = \vert{N_D - N_A}\vert$$
At the left side we have the n-side of the junction, whereas at the right we have the p-side. I am a little confused over $N_D$ and $N_A$ at the n-side. Do the Ga atoms interact with the As ones, so we have $N_D = 2*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$, or not, ans thus we have $N_A=2*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$ and $N_D = 4*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$ ?

The Ga and As atoms do interact, so $N_D = 2*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$ is correct. This means that there are two different types of dopant atoms on the n-side, one type is donors and the other is acceptors. The total concentration of dopants is then $N_D + N_A = 4*10^{16} \text{cm}^{-3}$.

It's given a gas of particles all identical which has T fixed and spin S. Let's ##g(\epsilon)## the density of orbital states and ##g(\epsilon) = g_0## for ##\forall \epsilon \in [\epsilon_0, \epsilon_1]##, zero otherwise. How to compute the number of accessible quantum states of one particle? This is my attempt, and I suspect that is not good. Let S=0 and then bosons in a system. Simply, if we have the density of orbitals we have to integrate ##g(\epsilon)## and we have...
