Sentences with phrase «energy valence»

The low - energy valence band holds electrons which bind the crystal together.

Not exact matches

Semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide have a «bandgap» between the «valence band» — the energy levels where electrons normally reside — and the higher - energy «conduction band» in which electrons are free to move.

Employing a strategic combination of detailed electronic structure calculations, combinatorial materials synthesis, and both traditional and high - throughout photoelectrochemistry measurements, the JCAP team identified earth - abundant copper and manganese vanadate complex oxides that meet highly demanding requirements for photoanodes: low band gap energy, stability under highly oxidizing conditions, and valence band alignment with respect to OER.

Companies including A123 Systems, AltairNano, Electrovaya, Electro Energy, Firefly, Johnson Controls, Valence and others reported rapid progress with much better batteries beginning to be tested and evaluated.

There is no mathematical expression of «valence bond theory» based on fundamental physics that allows you to calculate the energy levels of different bond configurations, excited states, etc - unless you go to direct quantum chemistry calculations (with DFT as an approximation).

The ability to displace gasoline with electricity is accomplished by replacing the stock 1.3 kWh NiMH hybrid battery with a 9kWh high - energy, lightweight Valence Saphion lithium - ion battery pack.
