Semiconductor Physics and Devices (I) - HW

This document outlines the homework assignments for the course CST5026: Semiconductor Physics and Devices (I) for the 2020 Spring semester. The homework is due on March 30th and consists of 5 problems. The first 3 problems involve calculating properties of face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic crystal structures including the number of atoms per unit cell, effective number of atoms per unit cell, volume density of atoms, and surface density of atoms for different crystal planes. The fourth problem involves sketching different crystal planes and crystallographic directions for a simple cubic lattice. The fifth and final problem calculates properties of a face-centered cubic crystal assuming hard sphere atoms, including volume density, surface density for a specific plane, and distance
