5 Questions
What are the three categories solid materials can be classified into based on their electronic structure and properties?
Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators
What is the valence band and what does it contain?
The valence band contains energy levels of valence electrons which remain in the outermost orbit.
What is the conduction band and what does it contain?
The conduction band contains energy levels of free electrons (conduction electrons).
What is the band gap and where is it located?
The band gap is the gap between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band, which does not contain any energy levels.
What does the Kronig Penny Model establish about semiconductors?
The Kronig Penny Model establishes the fact that band gap exists in semiconductors.
