The physical significant of fermi level

Re: fermi level

Dear Sumanth,

You shall get your answer in any book dealing with the physics of semiconductors like this one--"S.M.Sze, JohnWiley,'The Physics of Semiconductor' ".

In short I may say, Fermi-Level indicates that energy level where the probability to find an electron is 50%.

fermi level

Fermi level" is the term used to describe the top of the collection of electron energy levels at absolute zero temperature. This concept comes from Fermi-Dirac statistics.
The Fermi level is referred to as the electron chemical potential in other contexts.

Re: fermi level

fermi level is an imaginary level which has 100% occupancy at 0K.... also it is the level which has a 50% probability of occupancy at all other temperatures....
 

Re: fermi level

Hey friends i think physical significance is different from theorical explanation....please dont fill your answers with theory found in books....If anyone has imagine fermi level please let us know......
 

Re: fermi level

what physical significance do you think a imaginary level can have.... it got in the way of derivation to be at the centre of the valence band and conduction band of intrinsic semiconductor
and it had the property of being completely filled at 0K
so this is the only thing that can be said to be physical significance but i thought everyone knows that talking about physical significance of a unattainable temperature is going to be theoretical significance...

if you know the answer please post else stay out of the discussion....
