8.97 The doping of semiconductors can be done with enough precision to tune the size of the band gap in the material. Generally, in order to have a larger band gap, the dopant should be smaller than the main material. If you are a materials engineer and need a semiconductor that has lower conductivity thin pure silicon, what clement or elements could you use as your dopant? (You do not want either an n- or a p- type material) Explain your reasoning.
Materials containing the elements Y, Ba, Cu, and O that are superconductors (electrical resistance equals zero) at temperatures above that of liquid nitrogen were recently discovered. The structures of these materials are based on the perovskite structure. Were they to have the ideal perovskite structure, the superconductor would have the structure shown in pant (a) of the following figure. a. What is the formula of this ideal perovskite material? b. How is this structure related to the perovskite structure shown in Exercise 85? These materials, however, do not act as superconductors unless they are deficient in oxygen. The structure of the actual superconducting phase appears to be that shown in pan (b) of the figure. c. What is the formula of this material?
Metallic barium has a body-centered cubic structure (all atoms at the lattice points) and a density of 3.51 g/cm3. Assume barium atoms to be spheres. The spheres in a body-centered array occupy 68.0% of the total space. Find the atomic radius of barium. (See Problem 11.93.)
Identify the following substances as ionic, metallic, covalent network, or molecular solids: Substance A is malleable, ductile, conducts electricity well, and has a melting point of 1135 C. Substance B is brittle, does not conduct electricity as a solid but does when molten, and has a melting point of 2072 C. Substance C is very hard, does not conduct electricity, and has a melting point of 3440 C. Substance D is soft, does not conduct electricity, and has a melting point of 18S C.
Consider the three types of cubic units cells. (a) Assuming that the spherical atoms or ions in a primitive cubic unit cell just touch along the cubes edges, calculate the percentage of occupied space within the unit cell. (Recall that the volume of a sphere is (4/3)r3, where r is the radius of the sphere.) (b) Compare the percentage of occupied space in the primitive cell (pc) with the bcc and fcc unit cells. Based on this, will a metal in these three forms have the same or different densities? If different, in which is it most dense? In which is it least dense?
The structures of another class of ceramic, high-temperature superconductors are shown in figures a-d. a. Determine the formula of each of these four superconductors. b. One of the structural features that appears to be essential for high-temperature superconductivity is the presence of planar sheets of copper and oxygen atoms. As the number of sheets in each unit cell increases, the temperature for the onset of superconductivity increases. Order the four structures from lowest to the highest superconducting temperature. c. Assign oxidation states to Cu in each structure assuming Tl exists as Tl3+. The oxidation states of Ca, Ba, and O are assumed to be + 2, + 2, and 2, respectively. d. It also appears that copper must display a mixture of oxidation states for a material to exhibit superconductivity. Explain how this occurs in these materi.als as well as in the superconductor in Exercise 87.
An amorphous solid can sometimes be converted to a crystalline solid by a process called annealing. Annealing consists of heating the substance to a temperature just below the melting point of the crystalline form and then cooling it slowly. Explain why this process helps produce a crystalline solid.
