Computing the Laplacian in different coordinate systems.
The Laplacian of a function ta(x.y.z) in 3D Cartesian coordinates in defined by
∇2u = (∂2u/∂x2) + (∂2u/∂y2) + (∂2u/∂z2)
Any function in 3 variables can also be expressed in terms of either cylindrical polar coordinates (r, θ, Φ) or spherical polar coordinates (r, θ, Φ). In these coordinate systems the Laplacian has its own form. These are
∇2u =(1/r) (∂/∂r) (r ∂u/∂r) + (1/r2) (∂2u/∂θ2) + (∂2u/∂z2) (cylindrical polar)
∇2u = (1/r2) (∂/∂r) (r2 ∂u/∂r) + (1/r2 sin θ) (∂/∂θ) (sin (θ) ∂u/∂θ) + (1/r2 sin2 θ)(∂2u/∂Φ2)
a. Take the function u(x. y,z) = -x3 - 3xy2+ z2. Compute the Laplacian in 3D Cartesian coordinates.
b. Convert the formula for u into a formula for u involving cylindrical polar coordinates. Then compute the Laplacian ∇2u using the cylindrical polar form. Show that your answer here is the same as your answer from (a)
c. For this section take u(x, y, z) = x2 Convert the formula for u into a formula for u involving spherical polar coordinates. Then compute the Laplacian ∇2u using the spherical polar form. Check that your answer is 2 .

Temperature dependence of is
: Assuming that the temperature dependence of IS arises mostly because IS is proportional to n2 i , use the expression for ni in Eq. (3.2) to determine the factor by which n2 i changes as T changes from 300 K to 305 K. This will be approximately the..

Estimate the total charge stored
: Estimate the total charge stored in a 0.1-μm depletion layer on one side of a 10-μm×10-μm junction. The doping concentration on that side of the junction is 1018/cm3.

Determining the acceptor concentration
: If, for a particular junction, the acceptor concentration is 1017/cm3 and the donor concentration is1016/cm3, find the junction built-in voltage. Assume ni = 1.5×1010/cm3.

Magnitude of charge stored on either side of junction
: With the terminals left open, what is the width of the depletion region, and how far does it extend into the p and n regions? If the cross-sectional area of the junction is 20 μm2, find the magnitude of the charge stored on either side of the junct..

Mobilities change with doping concentration
: In a 10-μm-long bar of donor-doped silicon, what donor concentration is needed to realize a current density of 2 mA/μm2 in response to an applied voltage of 1 V? (Note: Although the carrier mobilities change with doping concentration, as a first a..

Describe the ground state of this system
: Suppose that the temperature of this system is low, so that the total energy is low (though not necessarily zero). In what way will the behavior of the bosonic system differ from that of the system of distinguishable particles? Discuss.
