    This  is  a  closed  book  exam.    You  may  use  a  calculator  and  the  formula  sheet  at  the  end  of  
    this  exam.  
     
    There  are  three  equally  weighted  questions.    To  receive  full  credit,  you  must  show  your  
    work  (scratch  paper  is  attached).

    a)  Each  atom  occupies  a  site  of  a  single,  crystal  lattice  
    b)  Each  atom  in  a  part  of  the  material  (grain)  occupies  a  site  in  the  crystal  lattice  of  
    that  grain  
    c)  Each  atom  occupies  a  random  location    
    d)  It  contains  no  defects  
    e)  Each  atom  occupies  sites  on  two  different  crystal  lattices  
     
     
    3)     What  is  the  difference  between  a  semiconductor  and  an  insulator?  
    a) Insulators  are  polycrystalline  and  semiconductors  are  crystalline  
    b) Insulators  are  crystalline  and  semiconductors  are  polycrystalline  
    c) Insulators  have  a  diamond  lattice  and  semiconductors  have  a  zincblende  lattice  
    d) Insulators  have  a  smaller  bandgap  than  semiconductors  
    e) Insulators  have  a  larger  bandgap  than  semiconductors  
     
    4)     Which  plane  is  perpendicular  to  a  [100]  direction?  
    a)  (001)  
    b)  (010)  
    c)  (100)  
    d)  (011)  
    e)  (101)

    a)  the  atomic  density  of  the  material.  
    b)  Avogadro’s  number.  
    c)  The  density  of  dopants.  
    d)  The  packing  fraction  of  the  material.  
    e)  Zero

    2)   What  is  the  packing  fraction  of  aluminum?    (Face-­‐centered  cubic  crystal  structure.)    
    Show  your  work  and  draw  a  box  around  your  answer.  
     
    Treat  the  atoms  as  rigid  spheres  with  radii  equal  to  one-­‐half  the  distance  between  
    nearest  neighbors.    The  packing  fraction  is  the  ratio  of  the  volume  occupied  by  the  
    atoms  to  the  total  volume  available.  
     
     
    Solution:  
     
    In  a  FCC  lattice,  the  distance  between  nearest  neighbors  is  the  distance  between  an  atom  
    on  the  corner  and  the  atom  at  the  center  of  the  face.    This  distance  is  
     
    2
    d= a    
    2
     
    d 2a
    The  radius  of  the  atom  sphere  is     R = =  
    2 4
     
    The  volume  of  the  sphere  is  
     
    3
    4 4 ⎛ 2a ⎞ 1 ⎛ 2 2⎞ 3 2 3
    V = π R3 = π ⎜ ⎟ = π⎜ ⎟ a = π a  
    3 3 ⎝ 4 ⎠ 3 ⎝ 16 ⎠ 24
     
    1 1
    The  number  of  atoms  in  the  cubic  unit  cell  is     N = × 8 + × 6 = 4    
    8 2
     
    So  the  packing  fraction  is  
     
    2 3
    4 × volume of sphere 4 × 24 π a 2π
    PF = = 3
    =    
    total volume a 6
     
     
    2π
    PF = = 0.74  
    6

    3)    Deduce  the  Miller  indices  for  the  plane  shown  below.    Show  your  work  and  draw  a  
    box  around  your  answer  

     
     
    Solution:  
     
    The  intercepts  in  the  x,  y,  and  z  directions  are    (1a,  3a,  4a)  
     
    Or,  in  units  of  a:    (1,  3,  4)  
     
    Take  the  inverse  of  each  intercept:    (1,  1/3,  1/4)  
     
    Multiply  everything  by  12:  (12,  4,  3)  
     
     
    Answer:  
     
    (12 4 3)
