Crystalline germanium (Z=32, rho=5.323 g/cm3) has a band gap of 0.66 eV. Assume the Fermi energy is half way between the valence and conduction bands. Estimate the ratio of electrons in the conduction band to those in the valence band at T = 300 K. (See eq. 10-11) Assume the width of the valence band is ΔΕV ~ 10 eV.

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?

Determine the age of a fossil if it had only one eighth of its original carbon-14 content remaining?

Asubject in a clinical research trial experiences a serious, unanticipated adverse drug experience. how should the investigator proceed, with respect to the irb, after the discovery of the adverse event occurrence? a. do not report the adverse drug experience to the irb since it is a common adverse experience. b. report the adverse drug experience to the irb only if there are several other occurrences. c. report the adverse drug experience as part of the continuing review report. d. report the adverse drug experience in a timely manner, in keeping with the irb's policies and procedures, using the forms or the mechanism provided by the irb.
