When a photon enters the depletion zone of a p-n junction, the photon can scatter from the valence electrons there, transferring part of its energy to each electron, which then jumps to the conduction band. Thus, the photon creates electron–hole pairs. For this reason, the junctions are often used as light detectors, especially in the x-ray and gamma-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Suppose a single 662 keV gamma-ray photon transfers its energy to electrons in multiple scattering events inside a semiconductor with an energy gap of 1.1 eV, until all the energy is transferred. Assuming that each electron jumps the gap from the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band, find the number of electron – hole pairs created by the process.
The force of attraction between a divalen cation and a divalen anion is 2.60 x 10^-8 Newtons. If the ionic radius of the cation is 0.067 nm, waht is the anion radius?
