Si is doped with 6 x 1015 cm-3 donors and 2 x 1015 cm-3 acceptors. Find the position of the Fermi level with respect to Ei at 300 K.

i know the equations are
(for n-type) EF = kT ln(ND/ni) + Ei
(for p-type) EF = kT ln(ni/NA) + Ei

however, since the problem gives me both donors and acceptors, how do i know which one to use? i am thinking since there are more donors than acceptors, i use the equation for n-type...not sure if this is correct though.

All the acceptor states will be occupied by electrons come from donors. So the semiconductor will behave like n-type one with
<br /> n&#039;_{\text{donor}} = n_{\text{donor}} - n_{\text{acceptor}}<br />
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
