  2. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    For example, doping pure silicon with a small amount of phosphorus will increase the carrier density of electrons, n. Then, since n > p, the doped silicon will be a n-type extrinsic semiconductor. Doping pure silicon with a small amount of boron will increase the carrier density of holes, so then p > n, and it will be a p-type extrinsic ...

  3. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Thus the interior of a metal is filled up with a large number of unattached electrons that travel aimlessly around like a crowd of displaced persons. When a metal wire is subjected to electric force applied on its opposite ends, these free electrons rush in the direction of the force, thus forming what we call an electric current.

  4. Slater–Pauling rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slater–Pauling_rule

    The basic rule given above makes several approximations. One simplification is rounding to the nearest integer. Because we are describing the number of electrons in a band using an average value, the s and d shells can be filled to non-integer numbers of electrons, allowing the Slater–Pauling rule to give more accurate predictions.

  5. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    The electron mobility is defined by the equation: =. where: E is the magnitude of the electric field applied to a material,; v d is the magnitude of the electron drift velocity (in other words, the electron drift speed) caused by the electric field, and

  6. Wiedemann–Franz law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiedemann–Franz_law

    Right axis: ρ times λ in 100 U 2 /K, blue line and Lorenz number ρ λ / K in U 2 /K 2, pink line. Lorenz number is more or less constant. In physics, the Wiedemann–Franz law states that the ratio of the electronic contribution of the thermal conductivity (κ) to the electrical conductivity (σ) of a metal is proportional to the temperature ...

  7. Polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedral_skeletal...

    When counting electrons for each cluster, the number of valence electrons is enumerated. For each transition metal present, 10 electrons are subtracted from the total electron count. For example, in Rh 6 (CO) 16 the total number of electrons would be 6 × 9 + 16 × 2 − 6 × 10 = 86 – 60 = 26.

  8. Electronic specific heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_specific_heat

    The free electrons in a metal do not usually lead to a strong deviation from the Dulong–Petit law at high temperatures. Since γ {\displaystyle \gamma } is linear in T {\displaystyle T} and A {\displaystyle A} is linear in T 3 {\displaystyle T^{3}} , at low temperatures the lattice contribution vanishes faster than the electronic contribution ...
