2. (a) Distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic semicondutors.
(b) Derive an expression for the density of holes in the valence band of an intrinsic
semiconductor. [7+8]
3. (a) What is bonding in solids? Write the list of di erent types of bonding in
solids.
(b) Describe with suitable examples, the formation of ionic and covalent bonds in
solids.
(c) What is cohesive energy of a molecule? Explain. [4+7+4]
4. (a) What is Bloch theorem? Explain.
(b) Write the conclusions given by Kronig-Penney model.
(c) For an electron under motion in a periodic potential, plot the curve between
the e ective mass of the electron and wave number, and explain. [5+5+5]
5. (a) Describe any three processes by which nanomaterials are fabricated.
(b) Describe the important applications of nanotechnology. [9+6]
6. (a) De ne magnetic moment. What is Bohr magneton? Explain.
(b) What are the characteristics of diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic
substances? Explain their behavior with the help of examples.
(c) If a magnetic eld of strength 300 amp/metre produces a magnetization of
4200 A/m in a ferromagnetic material, nd the relative permeability of the
material. [3+9+3]
