What is the energy band gap of germanium?
.3 ev
What is a difference between forbidden energy gap depletion region in semiconductor?
forbidden energy gap or energy gap or band gap or band or Eg is the gap between the top of the valance band and bottom of the conduction band. If we apply the energy equivalent to Eg then the electrons in valance band will jump to the conduction band. Ravinder kumar meena stpi n depletion region is the region in semiconductor where there is depletion of free charge carriers.Ravinder kumar meena stpi n
According to band theory mg is an insulator while in practice it is a conductor why?
According to band theory , the energy gap between valence band and conduction band was high. But during heating the energy gap get decreased. this is the reason why the mg behaves as an conductor.
Why cut in voltage of silicon is more than that of germanium?
the valence band energy is different in the two substances,so the cut in voltage is different.
What is the difference between the energy gap of a semiconductor and a superconductor?
Energy gap in a superconductor is not a constant but depends on temperature. Energy gap in a semiconductor is a fixed quantity which does not depend on temperature. The excited quasiparticles or cooper pairs are produced two at a time hence the gap is 2Delta0. In a semiconductor the gap is the energy needed to excite 1 electron into the conduction band. The ground state in a superconductor is made of superconducting cooper pairs , above the gap the electrons are unpaired , the cooper pairs have lower energy. Conduction takes place in the lower ground state in Superconductors , where in semiconductors the electrons conduct from the conduction band. In a superconductor the gap is tied to the fermi level , while in a semiconductor it is fixed to the lattice in reciprocal space.

Why silicon has more barrier potential than germanium?
Due to variation in energy gap between valance band and conduction band....

The gallium arsenide is prepared for laser action but silicon and germanium are not. explain why?
I think because GaAs has a direct band gap transition but Si and Ge has indirect band gap transition. Both silicon and germanium are opaque and thus cannot be used to make LASERs.
Why the breakdown voltage of silicon is 0.7V whereas for germanium it is 0.3V?
because germanium has lower energy gap between conduction and valence bands

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.
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 makes silicon a semiconductor?
Elements have two bands. One is Valence band and other is Conduction band. Valence band contains electrons whereas the conduction band is empty. The energy gap between them is called the forbidden gap. In case of metals, this gap is very small or the bands overlap. Therefore, the electrons are able to jump from the valence band to the conduction band and hence metal are able to conduct electricity and they are generally conductors. In case of Non-Metals, the energy gap is very large and hence hence electrons are not able to move from valence band to conduction band. Hence they are insulators. But in case of elements like Silicon, Germanium this gap is between Metals and Non-Metals, hence few electrons are able to move from valence band to conduction band. Therefore they have some conductivity but it is low and hence they are called semiconductors.
