Answer ASAP, I'll upvote. Thanks. Take the first part of the energy band figure shown below where material A is attached to material B. If a positive voltage was applied to A, and B was attached to ground, is the AB junctionforward-biased or reverse-biased? The built-in voltage of a PN junction is due to a charge gradient between the two sides of the junction, as shown by the graphs. What is the cause of this charge gradient? Answer in 1 sentence.

The carrier mobility of an organic semiconductor layer can be measured by the time-of-flight (TOF) photoconductivity measurement. Fig.1(a) is a schematic diagram of the TOF set-up, and Fig.1 (b) is the typical TOF transient measured for a 10 μm thick NPB film sandwiched between an ultrathin Al cathode and an ITO anode. From the constant current plateau in the TOF measurement, as shown in Fig.1(b), the transit time thus obtained for the NPB sample is 9 μs. (a) Calculate the carrier mobility in NPB layer. (b) Explain what type of the carriers, i.e., hole or electron mobility, was measured in the experiment.
2. For a semiconductor with a constant mobility ratio b=μn/μp > 1 independent of impurity concentration, find the maximum resistivity ρm in terms of the intrinsic resistivity ρi and the mobility ratio.(HINT: First, express the conductivity as the sum of the contributions of the electrons and holes. The expression will contain both n and p. Eliminate one of them by using the fact that their product is a constant at a given temperature. Next, to obtain the maximum resistivity, take a derivative with respect to the carrier concentration (which you did not eliminate in the previous step). Then obtain the ratio of ρm /ρi. This ratio should be independent of the carrier concentrations.)
