CHAPTER 3 Elements of solid state physics • Semiconductors, insulators and metals • Semiconductors • Insulators • Metals Prof. Dr. Beşire GÖNÜL Semiconductors, Insulators and Metals The electrical properties of metals and insulators are well known to all of us. Everyday experience has already taught us a lot about the electrical properties of metals and insulators. But the same cannot be said about “semiconductors”. What happens when we connect a battery to a piece of a silicon;

Media Bias American National Government After reading the article “Report from the Ombudsman” from Brill’s Content (ccis.ucourses.com/content) solidified the thoughts I had on the media being biased in their views. To get the truth you have to watch at least three different news channels and then research multiple sites on the Web. The ten simple questions he discussed in the article will make deciding if the content being reported is worth listening to. One of the key issues I see with journalists

over any civil action arising between “citizens of a State and citizens or subjects of a foreign state.” (Mc Laughlin, 1997) Procedure: The district court for southern New York has dismissed this case ruling that the plaintiff did not have subject matter jurisdiction and cannot invoke alienage/diversity jurisdiction since Hong Kong is not considered a foreign state. The 2nd circuit court of appeals took the case for review and upheld the lower court’s decision after further consideration. Issue(s):

AUSTRALIAN ENDANGERED ANIMALS – CAUSED BY HUMAN IMPACT The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (2009) asserts that Australia has 143 endangered animals, several of them are rare and only found in this part of the world. There is a serious concern about this endangerment because a number of these animals could be at a high risk to become extinct. It could cause loss of biodiversity, misbalance in food chains, and irreversible changes to environment. As long

BAND THEORY OF SOLIDS According to quantum free electron theory of metals, a electron in a metal experiences constant(or zero) potential and free to move inside the crystal but will not come out of the metal because an infinite potential exists at the surface. Bloch Theorem: According to this theorem, the periodic potentials due to the positive ions in metal have been considered. (i.e. the electrons moves in a periodic potential provided by lattice). If the electron moves through these ions

I. Introduction During the early days of computer industry, the software came integrated with hardware. The issue of intellectual property remained confined to hardware only. All this changed during the sixties when software was unbundled from hardware. This gave rise to independent software vendors (ISVs) and the production of standard and custom operating systems, as well as independent applications software’s. Rapid diffusion of low-cost desktop or personnel computer (PC) in late seventies and
