What else can I help you with?
Is the earth heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
Soilds are heated by the process of?
Conduction.
Why cant there be hole current in the conduction band?
In a semiconductor, the conduction band is filled with electrons, which are negatively charged. Holes represent the absence of electrons in the valence band, not in the conduction band. Since the conduction band is typically occupied by electrons, it cannot have holes; instead, holes exist in the valence band where electrons are missing. Therefore, while there can be free electrons in the conduction band, holes are specifically a feature of the valence band.
Are free electron in valence band or conduction band?
In semiconductors free electrons are in conduction bands.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the ozonosphere?
conduction
Possibility of holes in conduction band?
hoes are vacancies left by the electron in the valence band. hence there cannot be holes in the conduction band
What are conduction band?
The quantum mechanical energy band where electrons reside in semiconductors that participate in electrical conduction.
Why conduction band and valence band partially filled?
No. Conduction band is basically the unfilled energy levels into which electrons can be excited to provide conductivity.
Are free electrons in the valance band or conduction band?
Free electrons are typically found in the conduction band. In a solid, the valence band is filled with electrons that are bound to atoms, while the conduction band contains free electrons that can move through the material, allowing for electrical conductivity. At absolute zero, all electrons are in the valence band, but with enough energy (e.g., thermal or photon energy), some can be excited into the conduction band, becoming free electrons.
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
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
What is the difference between the valence band and the conduction band in a material's electronic structure?
The valence band is the energy band in a material where electrons are normally found, while the conduction band is the energy band where electrons can move freely to conduct electricity. The key difference is that electrons in the valence band are tightly bound to atoms, while electrons in the conduction band are free to move and carry electric current.
