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.
