	Electronic band structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The uppermost occupied band in an insulator or semiconductor is called the valence band by analogy to the valence electrons of individual atoms.
		This band gap is one of the most useful aspects of the band structure, as it strongly influences the electrical and optical properties of the material.
		The band structure has been generalised to wavevectors that are complex numbers, resulting in what is called a complex band structure, which is of interest at surfaces and interfaces.

	Band Structure Diagrams
		An additional motivation to understand band structures is given by the fact that such knowledge is often needed to effectively communicate with condensed matter physicists, many of whom are very good at calculating band structures.
		In summary remember that the band positions are determined by the energies of the atomic orbitals and the overlap of orbitals within a molecule.
		The width of the bands is determined by the overlap of orbitals with neighboring molecules (intermolecular overlap).

	ECCC7 : A radical cure : Band structure of Liquid Water "
		Band theory is a one-electron theory and as such neglects electron correlation.
		One theoretical approach to understand the electronic structure of water, as a condensed medium, is to use the theory develloped for amorphous semiconductors [Williams 76].
		While the amount of orbital overlap which creates the band structure might be different in water and in various forms of ice, it allows to separate out the instrinsic structure from the "extrinsic" structure caused by native defects.

	Semiconductors
		The magnitude of the band gap depends primarily on the same factor that determines the separation in energy between the bonding and antibonding orbitals in an isolated molecule; namely, the strength of the bonds between adjacent atoms.
		The Band Width (the spread of energies within the valence or conduction bands) is determined by the strength of the weak interactions between non nearest-neighbor atoms (i.e.
		Gallium arsenide, GaAs, has the zinc sulfide structure (see figure 9 of lecture 3), which is identical to the "diamond" structure exhibited by germanium, except that the germanium atoms are replace by alternate gallium and arsenic atoms.

	A New Gap-Opening Mechanism in a Triple-Band Metal
		Of three bands in the metal, one disappears after donating its electrons to a second in which a gap opens up, while the third opens a band-gap in the normal way.
		Bands are indicated by bright regions of higher photoemission intensity.
		The team found that in the insulating state below 125 K, the expected band-gap opening of the half-filled band was accompanied by a restructuring in which the band with the smallest filling disappeared, owing to an interband interaction in which the electrons of the disappearing band transferred into the third band, which became half filled.

	Tight-binding electronic band structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes
		The electronic band structure of carbon nanotubes is usually obtained by zone-folding of the π-band tight-binding band (πTB) structure of graphene.
		A four-electron TB model, in which the overlap between orbitals on adjacent atoms is neglected (an orthogonal TB model), already yields differences between the zone-folded band structure and the band structure of the particular nanotube due to σ-π rehybridization effects (Fig.
		Finally, it is a wide-spread practice in the band structure calculations to use the nanotube structure obtained by rolling up graphene into a cylinder ("rolled-up" nanotube structure).

	Principles - Some semiconductor physics - Band structure
		The next higher band is the conduction band which is separated from the valence band by the energy gap, or bandgap.
		Four of the five outer electrons are used to fill the valence band and the one extra electron from each impurity atom is therefore promoted to the conduction band.
		The electrons in the conduction band are mobile, and the crystal becomes a conductor.

	Photonic Crystals
		Photonic band gap crystals (PBG), due to their photonic band gap, which is similar to energy band gap for electrons in solid materials, have attracted much attention, especially in the field where an overlap of interests among photonics and electronics was unavoidable.
		Altering the geometry of the voids, in such a way as to increase the symmetry of the periodic structure, the band gap can be restored in a low refractive index material.
		The ideal structure to have is a three-dimensionally periodic photonic crystal (simply referred to here as a three-dimensional photonic crystal) with a full band-gap in three-dimensions.

		My careful theoretical modeling and painstaking experimentation reveal 1) that my equipment is crap, as are all the available texts on the subject and 2) that this whole exercise was a complete waste of my time.
		Electrons in germanium are confined to well-defined energy bands that are separated by "forbidden regions" of zero charge-carrier density.
		The upshot is that if you heat up a sample of germanium, electrons will jump from a non-conductive energy band to a conductive one, thereby creating a measurable change in resistivity.

	DAMOCLES: The physics -- band structure and scattering rates
		The 'bottom' of the conduction band, where "thermal", "cold" electrons reside, is close to the symmetry point labeled X. The zero of the energy - an arbitrary quantity - has been made to coincide with the top of the valence band, at the symmetry point labeled Gamma.
		In the figure energies are negative, by convention, for holes (carriers in the valence bands) and positive (and shifted by the band-gap, 1.17 eV, from the zero of the energy scale) for electrons.
		At the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K) scattering with the lattice vibrations is less frequent than at room temperature (300 K), because the Si ions are subject to a smaller amount of thermal agitation and perturb less the motion of the carriers.

		Basically, version of Matthias produced correct band edge for heavy and light hole, but noncorrect for s/o band (it was the same as for the light hole).
		If absolute energies of unstrained bands are equal, some modifications are needed to keep at least the same number of new bands as old bands.
		GaAs) the conduction band minimum lies at the Gamma point and is thus only affected by the absolute (hydrostatic) deformation potential which shifts the band energy accordingly.

	Session V30 - Semiconductor Band Structure.
		Remarkably, the band alignment is found to be almost the same for all those samples with a non negligible concentration of coordination defects in the amorphous region, whereas it is sizeably different for a defect-free sample.
		The explanation of this result is ascribed to the semi-metallic behaviour of the defect-rich a-Si in the former case, and to the establishment of a ``genuine'' semiconductor/semiconductor type of interface in the latter.
		Its crystal structure is rather complex, monoclinic with the space group C 2/m and with 36 atoms in the unit cell.

	DAMOCLES: Numerical algorithms -- Band structure and scattering rates
		The inclusion of the spin-orbit interaction -- necessary for the valence bands -- has required a re-working of the band structure and the nonlocal approximation has been adopted for the valence bands of those materials for which hole transport has been implemented.
		A transition to the nonlocal band structure will occur as necessity requires it: High-energy optical processes in Si, for example, can be better investigated with more accurate splittings at the symmetry points that nonlocal pseudopotentials provide.
		Values labeled 'intra-band 1' are relative to intra-band transitions within the lowest-lying conduction band, those labeled 'inter-band and intra-high-bands' are relative to all other transitions, intraband within higher-energy bands and all inter-band processes.

	The Woodpile Structure
		It was clear that such structures would be much easier to fabricate than the intersecting cubic lattice, and it was my intuitive feeling that they would have large complete gaps at easily attainable index contrasts.
		For this reason, Sami was not willing to publish the complete band structure on the four-layer cell until he could run some more tests on the code to ensure that convergence was obtained and that the gaps were real.
		They gave detailed band calculations for the four-layer unit cell that were correct, they were the first to actually reduce the idea to practice in many fine experiments, and they were the first to patent the structure.
