This lecture delves into the concepts of occupancy statistics and band filling in semiconductors, covering intrinsic and doped cases, including degenerate and non-degenerate scenarios. It explores the neutrality condition, tracking the evolution of free carrier concentration with temperature. The impact of a moderate electric field on free carrier transport properties is also discussed, emphasizing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and the concept of mobility from the Drude model.
