    Electrostatics and band structures?

    Hi all, Recently got to thinking about electrostatics and electron densities and band structures. If you have an electrostatically charged piece of material, say for example, a metal, does the density of states of that metal change because of the depletion of electrons? Alternately, if...

    Donor and acceptor levels in band diagrams

    1.in band diagrams, books usually show parabolic bands for the conduction band and the valence band. They will also make note of the acceptor and donor leves in the band gap. However, they always draw straight horizontal lines for these levels. Is that correct? The impurity levels are...

    Why do we need Gamma point in Band structure

    First post,a good begin. As far as I know,the band gap is generated from the bragg reflection at the BZ boundary.So I think we just need the special K-point at the surface of 1BZ,and also the band gap(direct or indirect) is at the special K-point on the surface. But it seems not real in most...

    Can the Band Structure Diagram be Represented in Real Space Instead of k-Space?

    So band structure diagrams are always depicted in k-space (1st BZ -pi/a to pi/a). Is it possible to show them in real space (1st WS cell -a/2 to a/2)? It seems to me that this would be legal. Is it not done because it is not instructive?

    Energy Band Theory - Conduction & Valence Bands

    In the energy band theory, we are only concerned with two bands - the conduction band and the valance band. Electrons can only be found in one of these bands and they can't have any energy related to the band in the middle - the forbidden bad. My question is that how come there are only two...

    Can electrons occupy energy levels in the band gap?

    Hi all, We say the energy difference between the Top of Valence band and the bottom of Conduction band as the forbidden gap or Band gap. But when we see the fermi level at zero Kelvin, its exactly at the middle of the band gap. Does this mean that there is possibility for an electron to...
