When you add a controlled amount of substance known as an impurity to a pure semiconductor, its conductivity increases. This pro

cess is known as doping. The addition of an impurity can increase or decrease the number of available electrons. If the number of electrons is increased, the extra electrons conduct electricity. If the number of electrons is decreased, a vacant hole is created. The adjacent electron enters the vacant hole and conducts electricity. Thus, it seems like the holes act as charge carriers. They are considered to be positive charge carriers. Depending upon the charge carriers that conduct electricity, there are two types of semiconductors: p-type semiconductors and n-type semiconductors.Which of the following statements are correct with respect to semiconductors?
a) The addition of group 3A elements to group 4A semiconductors decreases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors.
b) The conductivity of semiconductors can be increased by the doping process.
c) As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors decreases.
d) The addition of group 5A elements to group 4A semiconductors increases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors.
e) Holes are charge carriers in p-type semiconductors.
f) Electrons are charge carriers in n-type semiconductors.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1. The addition of group 3A elements to group 4A semiconductors decreases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors: Wrong

The addition of 3A group elements inreases the conductivity and make them extrinsic semiconductors( p-type)

2. The conductivity of semiconductors can be increased by the doping process.: Correct

3.As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors decreases.. wrong

As the temperature increases, the conductivity of semiconductors increases.

4. The addition of group 5A elements to group 4A semiconductors increases the conductivity of the group 4A semiconductors: Correct : They will create n-type semicoductor.

5.Holes are charge carriers in p-type semiconductors: Correct

6. Electrons are charge carriers in n-type semiconductors: Correct

What property do all of the group 18 elements have that make them stand out from other elements?
matrenka [14]
They are very stable (not reactive).

This is because their outer shell has a total of 8 valence electrons. All elements strive to get towards a full outer shell, but since these elements already have a full outer shell, they are fairly unreactive.

. Through what three mechanisms do gamma rays interact with matter?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Photoelectric effect, pair production and Compton scattering

Explanation:

Gamma rays, having no charge, can be slowed slowly by ionization as a material passes through. They suffer other mechanisms that eventually make them disappear, transferring their energy, they can cross several centimeters of a solid, or hundreds of meters of air, without undergoing any process or affecting the material they cross. Then they suffer one of the three effects and deposit much of their energy there. The three mechanisms of interaction with matter are: the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect and the production of pairs.

The photoelectric effect is that the photon meets an electron in the material and transfers all its energy, disappearing the original photon. The secondary electron acquires all the energy of the photon in the form of kinetic energy, and is sufficient to separate it from its atom and convert it into a projectile. This is stopped by ionization and excitation of the material

In the Compton effect the photon collides with an electron as if it were a clash between two elastic spheres. The secondary electron acquires only part of the energy of the photon and the rest takes it with another photon of lesser energy and diverted.

When an energy photon approaches the intense electric field of a nucleus, the production of pairs can happen. In this case the photon is transformed into an electron positron pair. Since the sum of the mass of the pair is 1.02 MeV, it cannot happen if the photon's energy is less than this amount. If the energy of the original photon is greater than 1.02 MeV, the surplus is distributed by the electron and the positron as kinetic energy, and the material can be ionized. The positron at the end of its path forms a positronium and then annihilates producing two annihilation photons, 0.51 MeV each.
