Question
The conductivity of an intrinsic samiconductor depends on temperature as $\sigma=\sigma_0\text{ e}^{\frac{-\Delta\text{E}}{2\text{kT}}}$ where $\sigma_0$ is a constant. Find the temperature at which the conductivity pf an intrinsic germanium semiconductor will be double of its value at T = 300K. Assume that the gap for germanium is 0.650eV and remains constant as the temperature is increased.

Answer

$\sigma=\sigma_0\text{e}^{\frac{-\Delta\text{E}}{2\text{KT}}}$
$\Delta\text{E}=0.650\text{eV},\text{T}=300\text{K}$
According to question, $\text{K}=8.62\times10^{-5}\text{eV}$
$\sigma_0\text{e}^{\frac{-\Delta\text{E}}{2\text{KT}}}=2\times\sigma_0\text{e}^{\frac{-\Delta\text{E}}{2\times\text{K}\times300}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{e}^{\frac{-0.65}{2\times8.62\times10^{-5}\times\text{T}}}=6.96561\times10^{-5}$
Taking in on both sides,
We get, $\frac{-0.65}{2\times8.62\times10^{-5}\times\text{T}'}=-11.874525$
$\rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{T}'}=\frac{11.574525\times2\times8.62\times10^{-5}}{0.65}$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}'=317.51178=318\text{K}.$

Two vessels A and B of equal volume $V_0$ are connected by a narrow tube that can be closed by a valve. The vessels are fitted with pistons that can be moved to change the volumes. Initially, the valve is open and the vessels contain an ideal gas $\Big(\frac{\text{C}_\text{P}}{\text{C}_\text{V}}=\gamma\Big)$ at atmospheric pressure $p_0$ and atmospheric temperature $T_0$. The walls of vessel A are diathermic and those of B are adiabatic. The valve is now closed and the pistons are slowly pulled out to increase the volumes of the vessels to double the original value.
  1. Find the temperatures and pressures in the two vessels.
  2. The valve is now opened for sufficient time so that the gases acquire a common temperature and pressure. Find the new values of the temperature and pressure.
