Quantum materials/band structure is a topic in the Quantum Collection.

Quantum materials/band structure.

Description

In a crystal lattice, the interaction between atoms causes individual electron energy levels to broaden into bands. Between these bands, there may be gaps where no electron states exist.

The arrangement of bands and gaps determines the electrical and optical properties of the material.

Properties

  • continuous energy bands
  • presence of band gaps
  • determines conductivity
