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.
What is band gap of electrolyte (Na2SO4)?
The band gap of an electrolyte like Na2SO4 is not well-defined as it consists of ionic compounds which do not have a band structure like semiconductors. Band gap is a property of materials with covalent bonding, like semiconductors, where it represents the energy difference between the valence and conduction bands.
What is the band gap of germanium?

Why silicon has more barrier potential than germanium?
Silicon has a larger band gap than germanium, leading to a higher barrier potential. This is due to the differences in the electronic structure of these two materials. Silicon's larger band gap means that it requires more energy to move electrons across the junction, resulting in a higher barrier potential compared to germanium.
What are the indirect bandgap materials?
Some examples of indirect bandgap materials include silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. These materials have a bandgap structure in which electrons have different momentum in the conduction band compared to the valence band, making optical transitions less likely.
The band gap of elements arranged in ascending order is?
The band gap of elements generally increases as you move from metals to semiconductors and then to insulators in the periodic table. Metals typically have no band gap, allowing for free electron movement, while semiconductors have a small band gap that enables controlled conductivity. Insulators possess a large band gap, preventing the flow of electrons under normal conditions. Thus, in ascending order, the band gap can be characterized as: metals (0 eV), semiconductors (typically 0.1 to 3 eV), and insulators (greater than 3 eV).
When was The Gap Band created?
The Gap Band was created in 1967.
What does gap stand for in the gap band?

When was The Gap Band II created?
The Gap Band II was created in 1979.
When was Gap Band IV created?
Gap Band IV was created in 1981.
When was The Gap Band III created?
The Gap Band III was created in 1980.
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.
DOes Charlie Wilson sing Gap Band songs in concert?
The Gap Band consists of brothers Charlie, Robert and Ronnie Wilson, the band first formed as the Greenwood, Archer and Pine Street Band in 1967. The group later changed their name to The Gap Band. Look up "You dropped a bomb on me" by The Gap Band.
What different between band gap silicon amorphous with crystaline?
Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) has band gap of about 1.7eV, whereas crystalline (c-Si) only has a band gap of 1.1eV
Which type of band gap does GaAs have?
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) has a 2.5eV band gap (@ 295 K)
