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 learnt in
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)
It is due to pauli's exclusion principle: no two electron can have same set of all four quantum number. Hence electron's occupies gradually higher energy level.
