Sentences with phrase «valence band»

We then determine the conduction / valence band edge alignment by measuring the flatband potential across a range of electrolytes with varying pHs using three different techniques; photocurrent onset, VOC under intense illumination, and Mott - Schottky analysis.

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.

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.

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

Typical diode lasers emit light, when electrons from the conduction band recombine with holes from the valence band.

A modern definition of metals is that they have overlapping conduction bands and valence bands in their electronic structure.

Not exact matches

Gallium arsenide is a technologically important narrow - band - gap semiconductor, in which the excitation of electrons from the valence into the conduction band produces charge carriers that can transport electrical current through electronics components.

This process of transferring electrons is known as doping and induced a giant Stark effect, which tuned the band gap allowing the valence and conductive bands to move closer together, effectively lowering the band gap and drastically altering it to a value between 0.0 ~ 0.6 electron Volt (eV) from its original intrinsic value of 0.35 eV.

Their reference to the built environment has become even stronger, with the bands here tightened up to appear even more structural and uniform, losing some of their organic valences to become brick or plank like.
