EENG 245 Physical electronics HW 1 1) The NaCl crystal is cubic, and can be described as follows. Na atoms sit at the corners and faces of a cube, and Cl atoms sit in between two Na atoms. This means that a Clatom is found half-way along each of the cube edges, and there is a Cl in the center of the cube. (We could also have described the lattice by interchanging Na and Cl in the description above.) Another...

E(k)t Er K. 4. (Advanced Level) Graphene is a special type of material which is two- dimensional and has a linear E-k diagram. The conduction and valence bands touch each other at a singularity, known as the Dirac point. In the unexcited state, the valence band is completely filled, while the conduction band is completely empty From the E-k diagram shown above, deduce the equation of the E-k curve. Hence, from the equation you deduced, speculate the special properties of...
