29 24. The following questions are based on the Kronig-Penney Model. : a. Sketch the plot that results from the Kronig-Penney model. b. Describe the implications of the Kronig-Penney Model c. State at least 3 names (E-k diagram, energy band diagram, dispersion relation) for the type of plot the Kronig-Penney Model represents. 29
30 25. The Kronig-Penney Model is based on a 1 dimensional (1D) crystal structure (lattice + basis) in which each lattice point is decorated with one atom (basis). The spacing between the atoms (or lattice points) we defined as ao = a + b. For a 3D lattice, we typically define the lattice spacing as the d-spacing. For a cubic Bravais lattice, the d-spacing is defined by a d h k l where (h k l) are the Miller indices for a given plane (Note: the k here is not the same as the k-space). Hence, ao is the d-spacing between atoms. We also defined the first Brillouin Zone where the wave vector (i.e., k, or reciprocal lattice vector, or k-space vector) is given by 2 k a o. Derive an equation for the wave vector, k, as a function of the d-spacing and the lattice constant a to determine the k value for the Brillouin zone at the X-point (i.e., (100)), L-point (i.e., 111), and K-point (i.e., (110) ) of a Brillouin zone for a FCC lattice. 30
31 26. A tight binding model for a particular semiconductor describes the conduction band as E(k)cb=2k Determine equations for the group velocity and the effective mass for an electron in the conduction band of the semiconductor. Do not forget to include units. 31
32 27. Why are the group velocity and effective mass important parameters to know in the field of electronic devices? Use mathematical relationships including but not limited to device current density in your arguments. 28. Draw and thoroughly label a E versus k diagram for the conditions below. Include (but not limited to) the X, L and gamma points, heavy and light hole valence bands, conduction band, etc. a. A direct band gap semiconductor and an indirect band gap semiconductor. b. A direct band gap semiconductor with a large effective mass c. A direct band gap semiconductor with a small effective mass 32
33 29. Draw and thoroughly label the energy band diagram in real space of a conductor, semiconductor and nonconductor. 33
34 30. What does the chemical potential have to do with the energy band diagrams in the previous question? Explain. 34
