You have an intrinsic semiconductor. (a) When temperature T = 0[K], obtain the density of electrons n in the conduction band and that of holes p in the valence band; (b) When T = 300[K], obtain the mathematical relationship between n and p (e.g., n=p, n>p, or n<p); (c) When T = 300[K], obtain the mathematical relationship between the np product and the intrinsic carrier concentration ni.
