Why, the dynamics of the material are really determined by the “excitations” of the system (how it’s behaviour differs from the equilibrium state). •E.G. for Donors in Si you might expect E=(eo/e)2(m*/mo)EH •For Si this works out to be about 25meV, and this is in reasonable agreement with the experimental results for shallow donors (even though we have left out a lot of details that account for differences between elements like P and As etc. Band structure and Impurties in Si and Ge From S.
