ELEC 4705 Study Guide - Final Guide: Introduction To Quantum Mechanics, Metal Fabrication, Wave Function
Document Summary
Students must count the number of pages in this examination question paper before beginning to write, and report any discrepancy immediately to a proctor. This examination question paper may not be taken from the examination room. Note that the questions are not equally weighted. I suggest you attempt the questions you know best rst! 1: basic quantum mechanics (15 marks total): In particular: (a) contrast it with the classical situation. (b) sketch a wave-function for a case of tunneling. (c) what e ects the degree of tunneling present? (d) give an example of a situation when tunneling is important. 3: electrons in crystals (total marks 20): When describing the electron behaviour in materials we use an e versus k relationship (e(k)). (a) (2 marks) describe what this relationship is. 4 (electrons in crystals extra page for work. ) Band structures:(cont. ) (b) (5 marks) what does the band structure of a metal, intrinsic semiconductor, and insu- lator look like.
