Question: (a) Using the data presented in Figure, determine the number of free electrons per atom for intrinsic germanium and silicon at room temperature (298 K).
(a) Using the data presented in Figure, determine the number of free electrons per atom for intrinsic germanium and silicon at room temperature (298 K). The densities for Ge and Si are 5.32 and 2.33 g/cm3, respectively.
(b) Now explain the difference in these free-electron-per-atom values.
