One can now use integrated-circuit technology to manufacture a "box" that traps electrons in a region only a few nanometers wide. Imagine that we make an essentially one-dimensional box with a length of 3 nanometers. Suppose we put 10 electrons in such a box and allow them to settle into the lowest possible energy states consistent with the Pauli exclusion principle.
a) What will be the value of the highest energy level occupied by at least one electron?
b) What will be the electrons' total energy (ignoring their electrostatic repulsion)?
c) How would your answers to the above be different if the electrons were bosons instead of fermions?
d) What is the wavelength of the lowest energy photon that can be absorbed (the electrons in this box are fermions)?
True or false
(a) Assume an electron's energy is measured
with an uncertainty of leV, then the minimum
uncertainty over the time is 2.7x10-16s.
(b) For any given semiconductor material,
electrons move(conduct) in valence.
(c) In semiconductor we describe the
movement of electrons as particle behavior
(d) The position of an electron in an atom can
be found precisely
Use dimensional analysis and show that the expression e=mc^2 has a unit of energy.
