Question

This scientist names the electronic surface states calculated from the nearly free electron approximation. The derivation of an equation developed by this physicist begins by solving for the injected electron concentration at the depletion region boundary. This physicist and J.R. Haynes authored a short paper demonstrating that the diffusion of minority carriers can induce a (*) current. The phenomenon of carrier recombination via a trap state is named for Read (“reed”), Hall, and this physicist. (10[2])Stanley Morgan and this physicist managed a group at Bell Labs, (10[1])where he suggested Gerald Pearson apply a voltage on a drop of glycol borate across a p-n junction. This physicist names the equation relating forward and reverse current in a diode. For 10 points, what physicist shared a Nobel Prize (10[1])with Bardeen and Brattain (10[1])for inventing the transistor? ■END■ (10[1])
