Is ZnSe is direct or indirect band gap?
It is direct band gap material.
Titanium dioxide is direct band gap or indirect band gap material?
Yes it is. Most Sn (tin) materials as semiconductors are direct band gap materials. Silicon on the other hand is an indirect band gap material.
Is silicon a direct band gap material?
Silicon is by all means an indirect band gap material.
What are the difference between direct and indirect band gap materials?
In a direct band gap the electron only needs energy to jump to the conduction band. In an indirect band an electron needs energy and momentum to jump to the conduction band
Is GAAs is a direct band gap material?
Yes it is.
What are the Characteristics of Direct and indirect band gap semiconductors?
Direct band semconductors are mostly for LEDs. Indirect band semiconductors like Si and Ge are conventional diodes.
Why indirect band gap material is used for manufacturing LED's?
Optical sources like LEDs use direct band gap so that conduction band electorn can recombine directly with a hole in valence band .
What is the difference between direct and indirect energy?
The band gap represents the minimum energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band, However, the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band are not generally at the same value of the electron momentum. In a direct band gap semiconductor, the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band occur at the same value of momentum.In an indirect band gap semiconductor, the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at a different value of momentum to the minimum in the conduction band energy
Why is silicon not used in fabrication of LED?
Silicon is an indirect band gap semiconductor
What are applications of direct and indirect band gap?
direct band gap means in e-k diagram valance bands are exactly below covalance band,in this band electron falls from the conduction band to valance band directly without going to metastable state and in indirect band gap the band electron falls from the conduction band to valance band by first going through the metastable state
Why do we mostly use indirect semiconductors?
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
When was The Gap Band created?
The Gap Band was created in 1967.
