What will happen to a semiconductor at absolute zero?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Absolute Zero:** - Absolute zero is defined as 0 Kelvin or -273.16 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, all molecular motion ceases, meaning that there is no thermal energy available in the system. 2. **Behavior of Electrons in Semiconductors:** - In a semiconductor, electrons typically occupy the valence band. For a semiconductor to conduct electricity, electrons must be able to move from the valence band to the conduction band. ...
