Consider an ideal light emitting
diode, which has no non-radiative
recombination. Every injected
carrier emits a photon with the
energy πΈg. Now apply a voltage
π1 < πΈg/π and a current π½1 flows.
The power of light emission is
πL = πΈgπ½1/π . πΈg

On the other hand, the electric power source gives the power
πS = π½1π1, which is smaller than ππΏ! Does the LED create
energy? Or what is happening inside the LED?

Exercise A
A-1. p-Ge has Seebeck coefficient of 300mV/K and n-type
Bi2Te3 -230mV/K. If one makes a thermocouple from these
two materials, how high is the voltage caused by the
temperature difference of 50K.
A-2. Obtain expressions for electron mobility and for
diffusion constant in terms of the conductivity and the Hall
coefficient.
