Effective density of states in conduction band?

The effective density of states in the conduction band refers to the density of electron states available for conduction. It is influenced by factors like the band structure of the material, temperature, and the presence of impurities or defects. It characterizes the number of conducting electrons that can participate in charge transport in a material.


What is the energy band gap of germanium?

The energy band gap of germanium is approximately 0.67 electronvolts (eV). This means that it requires this amount of energy to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band in germanium.


Why is a rubber band an insulator?

The electron configuration of rubber (natural of artificial is such that there is a big gap between valance band and conduction band of electrons. Electrons has to make a transition from valence band to conduction band in order to conduct electricity.


How does a conductor and insulator work?

CONDUCTORThe distance between conduction band and valence band is very small therefore an electron can easily jump to conduction band by overcoming weak nuclear forces. Hence, electric current can easily flow through it.INSULATORThe distance between conduction band and valence band is very large therefore an electron cannot jump to conduction band by overcoming weak nuclear forces. Hence, electric current cannot flow through it.


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.

Why are metal conductive?

Lots of free electrons in conduction band. This is commonly referred to as the electron gas.


How difficult is it for electrons to flow through a material?

Electrons 'jump' from one atom to another. The electron configuration of the atoms determine how easy it is for an electron to move from one atom to another, which is a factor in determining conductivity of the substance.Actually in atoms in the solid state, electrons occupy one of 2 quantum energy bands: the valence band or the conduction band. Valence band electrons are tightly bound to the atom, but conduction band electrons are not bound to the atom and can roam freely through the material.insulators have very few if any conduction band electrons and thus cannot conductconductors have so many conduction band electrons that they form what is called an electron gas that fills all of the material and can flow freely, there is no"'jumping' from one atom to another" at all
