Calculate conductivity of a germanium sample

if a donar impurity atoms are added to the extent to one part in (10)6 germanium atoms at room temperature.

Assume that only one electron of each atom takes part in conduction process.

Given:- Avogadro’s number = 6.023×1023atom/ gm- mol.

Atomic weight of Ge = 72.6

Mobility of electrons =3800cm2/voltssec

Density of Ge =5.32gm/cm3 .

Given data :- N=6.023×1023atoms/gmmole,atomicweightofGe,A=72.6,

μe=0.38m2/Vsec,ρ=5320kg/m3

Formula:σ=neeμe

Solution:no.ofatoms/unitvolume=Nρ/A=(6.023×1026×5320)/72.6

=441.35×1026

No.ofelectronsadded/unitvol=ne=(441.35×1026)/106

=441.35×1020

Conductivity,σ=neeμe

=441.35×1020×1.6×1019×0.38

=2683

Conductivity = 2683 mho/ m.
