    Electron Bands in 2D Semiconductor

    In the questions solution, they conceptually discuss how the DOS for the conduction band becomes larger when ##m_c## is larger than ##m_v##. This then implies that there is "more phase space for electrons than holes", which confuses me. How can you make a statement about the phase space of...

    Quantum Harmonic Oscillator, what is #E_0#?

    Hello to everyone. I'm sorry for the foolish question. The text is My attempt. = There are one fundamental state ## |0_x 0_y \rangle## with energy ##E_0=E_{0x}+E_{0y}=\frac{\hbar \omega}{2}+\frac{\hbar \omega}{2}=\hbar \omega ##. The first level has ##E_1 = 2\hbar \omega## and degeneration...

    Entropy of disks in a 2d box

    I'd like to check if my reasoning is right here and that the numerical factors in the final result are correct. The disks occupy an effective area ##A = (A_{\mathrm{box}}-2r)^2##, excluding the region of width ##r## at the boundary. The area available to the ##n##th disk is then ##A_n = A - 4\pi...

    2D kinematics problem -- Skateboard ramp jump calculations

    So I tried the following: Getting the velocities for x and y V_xi = 5.2cos(30) = 4.5 V_yi = 5.2sin(30) = 2.6 Then I use v^2 = u^2 +2as to get the final velocities before she leaves the ramp: for V_x the final is the same as the initial since the equation becomes V_xf = V_xi for V_y the final is...
