Substituting, w hav: Nd to: = ε n = N d Transform d to dε = Dtrmin th limits for ε : F j (η) is th Frmi-Dira Intgral of Ordr j: j x= x Fj ( η ) = dx Γ 0 x ( j + ) x= + η Γ(j+) is th Gamma Funtion of ordr j+ ( ) 0 x= j x Γ j + x dx Knowlton =x= 5 C B + ε η d d ε( ) = dε = 0 = ; So: d = dε ε( ) = ε( = ) = = 0; And: ε( = ) = = Thus: n N ( ε = ε = ) d ε [] ε = 0 ε η = N Γ F / + ( η ) ( ) N = N
Hr: F j (η) = F / (η) And: Γ(j+) = Γ(/) F j (η) was not analytially solvd until 995. Can now us Mathmatia to solv. Gamma funtions, whih ar lss ompliatd than F j (η), an b solvd using intgral tabls or Mathmatia. BOLZMANN S APPROXIMATION: F j (η) was not analytially solvd until 995, so historially th Boltzmann s Approximation was usd. Boltzmann s Approximation: f is wll within th nrgy band gap and not nar th band dgs of C and V. ε f η = >> Knowlton 6

Not that th Frmi-Dira distribution funtion boms th Maxwll-Boltzmann distribution funtion. Thus, w hav Arrhnius bhavior rsulting in thrmal ativation of ltron onntration in th ondution band.
