where
J
is

is
dened

The
electron
mobility
(e)
is
the
constant
of
propor5onality
rela5ng
the
velocity
of
the
electron
within
the
bulk
and
the
eld
strength
and
reects
the
number
of
scaJering
events.
The
net
conduc5vity
of
a
material
is
then
given
by
the
product
of
the
number
of
free
electrons,
the
electronic
charge,
and
the
electron
mobility.

Semiconductors
An
intrinsic
semiconductor
is
a
material
exhibi5ng
semiconduc5ng
proper5es
in
the
absence
of
dopants
or
impuri5es.
Extrinsic
semiconductors
derive
their
proper5es
from
dopants
introduced
to
modiy
the
band
gap.
Elemental
semiconductors
include
Si
and
Ge;
compound
semiconductors
are
typically
comprised
of
combina5ons
of
elements
from
Groups
2B
and
6B
or
3B
and
5B.

When
a
piezoelectric
crystal
is
mechanically
deformed
by
the
applica5on
of
an
external
stress,
electric
charges
appear
on
certain
of
the
crystal
surfaces;
and
when
the
direc5on
of
the
strain
reverses,
the
polarity
of
the
electric
charge
is
reversed.
