In Phillips' spectroscopic theory of semiconductors, the covalency and ionicity is derived empirically from the average band gap between the highest valence and lowest conduction bands. In this paper a theoretical expression for the average band gap is derived in terms of a moment expansion of the...

The development stages of semiconductor wafers are elemental semiconductor, compound semiconductor and wide bandgap semiconductor, as shown in the Fig. 1. Semiconductor wafers can be divided into narrow band gap semiconductors and wide band gap semiconductors according to different band gaps. Wide Band ...
We conducted a large-scale density-functional theory study on the influence of the exchange-correlation functional in the calculation of electronic band gaps of solids. First, we use the large materials data set that we have recently proposed to benchmark 21 different functionals, with a particular...

An electronic band gap is a range of energies without electronic states. Its properties are crucial for optical and electrical behavior.
If the transition occurs across a fundamental band gap in the material, i.e., a band gap arising as a consequence of the native atomic structure and bonding, then the emission is said to be intrinsic. From: Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology, 2001 ...
