What type of oil is used in energy band gap?
the stewpid kined
Why are the band color-coded?
the bands are color-coded because it tells you what and what energy it have .
Why ordinary silicon diode does not emit light?
The energy band gap between the cathode and anode is too small to generate photons of higher energy than far IR.Silicon is opaque to visible light (and even IR).
How does a Light Dependent Resistor work?
light-dependent resistor, alternatively called an LDR, photoresistor, photoconductor, or photocell, is a variable resistor whose value decreases with increasing incident light intensity. An LDR is made of a high-resistance semiconductor. If light falling on the device is of high enough frequency, photons absorbed by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electron (and its hole partner) conduct electricity, thereby lowering resistance. A photoelectric device can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. In intrinsic devices, the only available electrons are in the valence band, and hence the photon must have enough energy to excite the electron across the entire bandgap. Extrinsic devices have impurities added, which have a ground state energy closer to the conduction band - since the electrons don't have as far to jump, lower energy photons (i.e. longer wavelengths and lower frequencies) are sufficient to trigger the device. Two of its earliest applications were as part of smoke and fire detection systems and camera light meters. Because cadmium sulfide cells are inexpensive and widely available, LDRs are still used in electronic devices that need light detection capability, such as security alarms, street lamps, and clock radios (Wikipedia 2005).
What is narrow-band signal?
Narrow-Band (also referred to as short-wave) is a term used to describe the amplitude of a radio device. Narrow-band devices are limited to an average of 400m.
What are semiconductor diode laser describe with energy band diagram the construction and working of a semiconductor diode laser?
construction and working of semiconductor laser
What is a degenerate simeconductor Draw an energy band diagram for a degenerate semiconductor?
The semiconductors where the doping concentration becomes equal or larger than the corresponding density of states, then it is referred to as degenerate semiconductors.
Is there any software available to draw an energy band diagram?
no sorry
Why acceptor energy level is near to valence band in p-type semiconductor?
valance band has lower energy level
What is the conduction band in a semiconductor?
The electronic energy band of a http://www.answers.com/topic/crystalline solid which is partially occupied by 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 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
What is the name of two energy bands at which current is produced in silicon?
The two energy bands in which current is produced in Silicon (type of intrinsic semiconductor) are VALENCE BAND & CONDUCTION BAND
What is the narrow-band semiconductor?
Narrow-band semiconductor refers to the semiconductor materials with band gap that is relatively smaller than silicon. This is commonly used as thermo-electric or infrared detectors.
What is the working principle of semiconductor laser?
The principle of semiconductor laser is very different from CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers. It is based on "Recombination Radiation" The semiconductor materials have valence band V and conduction band C, the energy level of conduction band is Eg (Eg>0) higher than that of valence band. To make things simple, we start our analysis supposing the temperature to be 0 K. It can be proved that the conclusions we draw under 0 K applies to normal temperatures. Under this assumption for nondegenerate semiconductor, initially the conduction band is completely empty and the valence band is completely filled. Now we excite some electrons from valence band to conduction band, after about 1 ps, electrons in the conduction band drop to the lowest unoccupied levels of this band, we name the upper boundary of the electron energy levels in the conduction band the quasi-Fermi level Efc. Meanwhile holes appear in the valence band and electrons near the top of the valence band drop to the lowest energy levels of the unoccupied valence energy levels, leave on the top of the valence band an empty part. We call the new upper boundary energy level of the valence band quasi-Fermi level Efv. When electrons in the conduction band run into the valence band, they will combine with the holes, in the same time they emit photons. This is the recombination radiation. Our task is to make this recombination radiation to lase
Differentiate in between conductor and semiconductor and insulators using band diagram?
Conductor-one which conducts(allow current)electric city in all condition. Semiconductor-One which behaves like conductor as well as insulator depending on condition. Insulator-one which donot conduct(allow current)electric city in all condition
Give some Examples of direct and indirect band gap semiconductors?
direct band gap-semiconductor in which the bottom of the conduction band and the top of the valence band occur at the momentum k=0;in the case of d.b.s. energy released during band-to-band electron recombination with a hole is converted primarily into radiation (radiant recombination); wavelength of emitted radiation is determined by the energy gap of semiconductor; examples of d.b.s. GaAs, InP, ZnS, ZnSs, CdS, CdSe etc. indirect bandgap semiconductor --semiconductor in which bottom of the conduction band does not occur at effective momentum k=0, i.e. is shifted with respect to the top of the valence band which occurs at k=0; energy released during electron recombination with a hole is converted primarily into phonon; e.g. Si, Ge, GaP, GaAsp ,Ge etc, .
