Find Ef probability that an electron state at E = Eo-kT is empty. Find EF. (f) The probability that an electron state at E EakT is filled is the same as the probability that an electron state at E- Eo - bkT is empty. Find Ef. (g) The probability that an electron state at E = E, is empty is 0.5. Find the probability that an electron state at E-E1 + 10kT is occupied.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:- From Fermi-Diarac statistics, probability is given by-

f(E) = 1/(1+e(E-EF)/kT).

a) For E= EF + 3kT, f(E) = 1/(1+e3) = 0.047

b) At T=0 K, f(E) = 0.

c) Same as previous, i.e zero.

d) Probability of electron being empty is 1-f(E) =1/1+e(EF - E)/kT. So as per given data we can write-

1/(1+e(E0+kT-EF)/kT) = 1/(1+e(EF - E0 + kT)/kT)

EF = E0 is the answer.

f) In the same way as in part d. We get EF = E0 + ((a-b)/2)kT
