Recap of Lecture #13: Thermodynamics III For a spontaneous process, ΔG = Wmax = The maximum work that can be obtained from a process at constant T and p For a non-spontaneous process, ΔG = Wmin = The minimum work that must be done to make a process go at constant T and p Lead acid battery Dry cell, alkaline cell Rechargeable Ni-Cd battery To get higher voltages, stack up cells in series (e.g., car battery 6 × 2 V = 12 V) Electrolysis: Driving non-spontaneous reactions by applying electrical energy The least unfavorable potential reaction goes first (there can be overlap) Overpotentials and concentrated reactants are used

Recap of Lectures #14/15: Metals & Semiconductors Metals No band gap - HOMO, LUMO are at the same energy Electronic excitation is small vs. kT High electrical and thermal conductivity Conductivity decreases with increasing temperature because of electron scattering Semiconductors and Insulators Have a band gap between valence (lower) band and conduction (upper) band – electronic excitation is >kT This determines insulator vs. semiconductor Direct band gap can be excited by photons (photons have very little momentum) Indirect band gap cannot be photoexcited efficiently Electrons (e−) and “holes” (h+) can carry charge Differentiate with magnetic field (Hall effect) Energies of (dopant) states in the band gap determine conductivity and whether electrons or holes dominate current – n- and p-type, respectively Conductivity increases with increasing temperature because of thermal excitation of carriers Semimetal Zero band gap, but no states at the Fermi energy

Know: Valence and conduction bands Fermi energy (= Fermi level) Dopant energy Work function (= Ionization potential) Fabrication Steps Purify large crystal of semiconductor (e.g., silicon) Slice into wafers Polish wafers Use masks and lithography to sculpt wafer (remove material), to deposit material, and to do simple reactions Reactions in patterns: Oxidize Si to make insulator (or deposit insulator) React Si with metal to make conducting metal silicide (to connect devices) React Si to make doped volume of p- or n-type semiconductor – more on this today Seal up devices to prevent further reactions

Midterm #2 Review Acid Strength Strong acids HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4 These dissociate completely to form H+ + XOther (weak) acids: Dissociate partially to H+ + XRank by Ka – the highest Ka is the strongest acid. Oxyacids: 1) The most highly charged center atom yields the strongest acid. 2) The most electronegative center element yields the strongest acid if the acids have the same structure. Lewis acid rules along above lines Polyprotic acids Lewis acid-base adducts
