Zusammenfassung: | The behavior of a Fermi gas across various dimensions has already been
extensively explored. However, existing formulations often lack clarity or
exhibit inconsistencies. In this work, we present a streamlined approach for
deriving the density of states (DOS) for a $d$-dimensional Fermi gas for
semiconductors. We provide explicit general expressions for key Fermi
quantities, including the wavevector, energy, temperature, momentum,
wavelength, and velocity. Moreover, we apply these expressions to calculate for
the carrier concentration and thermodynamic properties such as the internal
energy, chemical potential, specific heat, electron degeneracy pressure, and
bulk modulus. From the degeneracy pressure, we attribute a purely quantum
mechanical explanation for the enhancement of carrier concentration in lower
dimensions. |
