The question reads, 'Explain what is meant by the chemical potential in relation to the electronic band structure.'
I know how we define the chemical potential (eq 4.1 of your book), understand from last years thermal physics course how it relates to particle number in equilibrium and know it lies mid gap in an intrinsic semiconductor, but I don't really know how to answer the above. Could you give a good explanation please?
Cheers.
