Examples in Context

  1. The valence band maximum is a flat band; whereas the conduction band minimum is a parabolic band.
  2. As one of the most important parameters to characterize the value of semiconductor application, band gap is the energy difference between the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum.
  3. It is found that the intrinsic occupied surface states related to P atom dangling bonds are located at 0.6 eV below the valence band maximum, while the defect induced empty surface states are located at 1.1 eV above the valence band maximum (Γ point ).
