condensed matter - Why does Fermi Level change due to change in donor atom concentration?


Suppose I have a n-type semiconductor whose fermi-level lies (say) 0.2 eV below the conduction band. Why would this level change if I changed the doping by making the donor concentration (say) 4 times the original value?


And what does it even mean? Does this mean that chemical potential also changes ? (I guess it, probably, does but what it means?)


Also could we estimate how would it change in some approximate way?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
