15 Questions
How does the resistivity of a semiconductor generally change with temperature?
Falls as temperature rises
What is a semiconductor?
A material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator
What can alter the conducting properties of a semiconductor in useful ways?
Introducing impurities into the crystal structure (doping)
What are some examples of semiconductors mentioned in the text?
Silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide
What is created when two differently doped regions exist in the same crystal?
Semiconductor junction
What type of conductivity does a semiconductor exhibit?
Variable conductivity based on temperature
How are the conducting properties of a semiconductor altered in useful ways?
By introducing impurities into the crystal structure
What type of junction is created when two differently doped regions exist in the same crystal?
Semiconductor junction
Which material is mentioned as the second-most common semiconductor after silicon?
Gallium arsenide
What kind of devices can be made from semiconductors?
Devices for amplification, switching, and energy conversion
In game theory, what is a Nash equilibrium?
A situation where each player has nothing to gain by changing their own strategy
If two players Alice and Bob choose strategies (A, B), what constitutes a Nash equilibrium?
Alice has no other strategy available that does better than A at maximizing her payoff in response to Bob choosing B, and vice versa
According to Nash's result, is there a Nash equilibrium for every finite game?
Yes, every finite game has a Nash equilibrium
When does (A, B, C, D) constitute a Nash equilibrium in a game involving players Alice, Bob, Carol, and Dan?
A is Alice's best response to (B, C, D), B is Bob's best response to (A, C, D), and so forth
What is the principle of Nash equilibrium based on?
The assumption that players have perfect information about each other's strategies
