The manifestation of band structure in solids is due to
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle
Pauli’s exclusion principle
Bohr’s correspondence principle
Boltzmann’s law
As we have learnt,
Semiconductor -
Energy gap between valence band and conduction band is less than 3 e.v.
- wherein
1) lies between conductor & insulator
2) Both electron and holes are responsible for conductivity .
3) At 0 K behave like an insulator (Si,Ge)
Due to Pauli exclusion principle, no two electron can have same set of all four quantum number.
Hence electrons have different energy level, which is the reason for band structure in solid.
