Problem
For a hypothetical semiconductor, we have n = p = 1000 cm2 / V.s and Nc = Nv = 1019 / cm3. If the conductivity of the intrinsic semiconductor at 300 K is 4 X 10-6 (-cm)-1. What is the conductivity at 600 K.

Crystallographic Directions
Cubic systems
directions are named based upon the projection of a vector from the origin of the crystal to another point in the cell.

Crystallographic Directions
Points within the lattice are written in the form h,k,l, where the three indices correspond to the fraction of the lattice parameters in the x,y,z direction.

Miller Indices
Procedure for writing directions in Miller Indices
Determine the coordinates of the two points in the direction. (Simplified if one of the points is the origin). Subtract the coordinates of the second point from those of the first. Clear fractions to give lowest integer values for all coordinates

Miller Indices
Indices are written in square brackets without commas (ex: [hkl]) Negative values are written with a bar over the integer. Ex: if h<0 then the direction is [hkl]

Miller Indices
Crystallographic Planes
Identify the coordinate intercepts of the plane
the coordinates at which the plane intercepts the x, y and z axes. If a plane is parallel to an axis, its intercept is taken as . If a plane passes through the origin, choose an equivalent plane, or move the origin
Miller Indices
Clear fractions due to the reciprocal, but do not reduce to lowest integer values. Planes are written in parentheses, with bars over the negative indices.
Ex: (hkl) or if h<0 then it becomes
ex: plane A is parallel to x, and intercepts y and z at 1, and therefore is the (011). Plane B passes through the origin, so the origin is moved to O, thereby making the plane the (112 )
