Draw energy band structures for insulators,
conductors, and semi-conductors and describe their characteristics.
Looking back at your Phy 182 class, describe
the difference between Bose-Einstein statistics and Fermi-Dirac statistics.
Which are at play in this lab? Describe how they vary as a function of
temperature. (Note: a picture is worth a thousand words!)
Graph V = A exp[B/T] for three values
of B. If B = Eg/2k, graph for Eg = 0.1 eV, 1 eV, and 10 eV (corresponding
to different solids above). Comment on the amount of thermal energy required
to create voltage changes in each case.
