When an electron goes from the valence band to the conduction band in silicon , its energy is increased by 1.1eV.the average energy exchange in a thermal collision is of the order of kT which is only 0.026eV at room tempreture. How is a thermal collision able to take some of the electrons from the valence band to the conduction band ?

Assertion: If there is some gap between the conduction band and the valence band, electrons in the valence band all remain bound and no free electrons are available in the conduction band. Then the material is an insulator. Reason: Resistance of insulators is very low

Find the wavelength of light that may excite an electron in the valence band of diamond to the conduction band. The energy gap is 5.50 eV

Assertion: The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature decrease exponentially with increasing band gap. Reason: It will be more difficult for the electron to cross over the large band gap while going from valence band to conduction band.

The probability of electrons to be found in the conduction band of an intrinsic semiconductor at a finite temperature

The free electron concentration (n) in the conduction band of a semiconductor at a temperature T kelvin is described in terms of E_(g) and T as-

The band gap between the valence and the conduction bands in zinc oxide (ZnO) is 3.0eV.Suppose an electron in the conduction band combines with a hole in the valence band and the excess energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation .Find the maximum wavelength that can be emitted in this process.

Assertion : The energy gap between the valence band and conduction band is greater in silicon than in germanium. Reason : Thermal energy produces fewer minority carriers in silicon than in germanium.
