When deriving this expression for the average composition distribution, authors of paper [74] entirely neglected its instantaneous constituent, having taken (as is customary in the quantitative theory of radical copolymerization [3,84]) the Dirac delta-function < ( -X) as the instantaneous composition distribution. Its averaging over conversions, denoted hereinafter by angular brackets, leads to formula (Eq. 101). Note, this formula describes the composition distribution only provided copolymer composition falls in the interval between X(0) and X(p). Otherwise, this distribution function vanishes at all values of composition lying outside the above-mentioned interval. 

Examination of the Fermi-Dirac distribution function Eq. (2.41) shows that the condition for applicability of the ideal-gas distribution to electron velocities is... 

While some younger physicists, like Born s student Werner Heisenberg and Ralph Fowler s student P. A. M. Dirac, were not sanguine about Bom s interpretation, it pleased chemists like Lewis, who earlier had been willing to think about the "average" position of an electron in its orbit, so as to reconcile Bohr s dynamic atom with Lewis s static atom. For Pauling, it was a natural step to take Y2 to be the probability distribution function for an electron s position in space.32... 

Overhauser s original derivation of the effect employed the Fermi-Dirac distribution functions for electrons and was an involved calculation. Kittel ISl), Slichter 1S2), and others supplied simple derivations for this effect and Abragam 133) extended it to nonmetallic systems. 

Here u fl" and E " are the periodic part of the Bloch function, energy and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions for the n-th carrier spin subband. In the case of cubic symmetry, the susceptibility tensor is isotropic, Xcj) = Xc ij- It has been checked within the 4 x 4 Luttinger model that the values of 7c, determined from eqs (13) and (12), which do not involve explicitly u and from eqs (14) and (15) in the limit q - 0, are identical (Ferrand et al. 2001). Such a comparison demonstrates that almost 30% of the contribution to 7c originates from interband polarization, i.e. from virtual transitions between heavy and light hole subbands.

Modification of this model to get the potential function is obtained considering the Fermi-Dirac distribution function for the electron density and the Boltzmann distribution for the ionic density. This was done by Stewart and Pyatt [58] to get the energy levels and the spectroscopic properties of several atoms under various plasma conditions. Here the electron density was given by... 

For tunneling between two equilibrium leads distribution functions are simply Fermi-Dirac functions (48) and current can be finally written in the well known form (To do this one should multiply the integrand on 1 = f 6(E-Eq)dE.)... 

The important point is, that the leads are actually in the equilibrium mixed state, the single electron states are populated with probabilities, given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution function. Taking into account all possible single-electron tunneling processes, we obtain the incoming tunneling rate... 

The Fermi-Dirac and Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical distribution functions are widely used in semiconductor physics, with the latter commonly used as an approximation to the former. The point of this problem is to make you familiar with these distribution functions their forms, their temperature dependencies, and under what conditions they become interchangeable. Throughout this problem, use the energy of silicon s valence band (Evb) as the zero of your energy scale. 

In this regard, the probability of finding an electron in a state with energy E is given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution function, fiE), which is expressed as follows (Figure 1.10) ...
