What or Who is Mighty Music Band on The Fresh Beat Band?
Mighty Music Band is a musical band that The Fresh Beat Band meets in Season 3. My guess is that they are a doppleganger version of The Fresh Beat Band. Not the look-alike type dopplegangers, but they are a band that is similar to The Fresh Beat Band such as personalities, outfits etc. My other guess is that Mighty Music Band members also have names simialr to The Fresh Beat Band. I believe that Mighty Music Band also has 4 band members just like The Fresh Beat Band.
Is the band Trivium a satanic band?
No, Trivium are quite obviously not Satanic.
How many band aid songs are there?
There is one song by the band, "band aid". Band Aid is a group comprised of other famous band members to raise money for charity efforts. There have been several different band aid bands.
When was CSS - band - created?
CSS - band - was created in 2003.
What is Philippine Constabulary Band?
the constabulary band is band that inform the telent of each mixed form ............
What is the difference between direct and indirect energy?
The band gap represents the minimum energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band, However, the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band are not generally at the same value of the electron momentum. In a direct band gap semiconductor, the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band occur at the same value of momentum.In an indirect band gap semiconductor, the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at a different value of momentum to the minimum in the conduction band energy
What is the working principle of semiconductor laser?
The principle of semiconductor laser is very different from CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers. It is based on "Recombination Radiation" The semiconductor materials have valence band V and conduction band C, the energy level of conduction band is Eg (Eg>0) higher than that of valence band. To make things simple, we start our analysis supposing the temperature to be 0 K. It can be proved that the conclusions we draw under 0 K applies to normal temperatures. Under this assumption for nondegenerate semiconductor, initially the conduction band is completely empty and the valence band is completely filled. Now we excite some electrons from valence band to conduction band, after about 1 ps, electrons in the conduction band drop to the lowest unoccupied levels of this band, we name the upper boundary of the electron energy levels in the conduction band the quasi-Fermi level Efc. Meanwhile holes appear in the valence band and electrons near the top of the valence band drop to the lowest energy levels of the unoccupied valence energy levels, leave on the top of the valence band an empty part. We call the new upper boundary energy level of the valence band quasi-Fermi level Efv. When electrons in the conduction band run into the valence band, they will combine with the holes, in the same time they emit photons. This is the recombination radiation. Our task is to make this recombination radiation to lase
What parts of an atom does chemistry?
the valence band electrons.
How do currents occur and what is there energy source?
valence band
Why in intrinsic semiconductors do you need to apply very high potential to transfer electrons from the valence band to the conduction band?
Semiconductors, in the absence of applied electric fields, act a lot like insulators. In these materials, the conduction band and the valence band do not overlap. That's why they insulate. And that's why you have to apply some serious voltage to them to shove the valence electrons across the gap between the valence and conduction bands of these semiconductor materials. Remember that in insulators, there is a "band gap" between the lowest Fermi energy level necessary to support conduction and the highest Fermi energy level of the valence electrons. Same with the semi's. In metals, the conduction band overlaps the valence band Fermi energy levels. Zap! Conductivity.
Are free electron in valence band or conduction band?
In semiconductors free electrons are in conduction bands.
Possibility of holes in conduction band?
hoes are vacancies left by the electron in the valence band. hence there cannot be holes in the conduction band
What are valence band?
The quantum mechanical energy band where electrons reside in semiconductors that participate in interatomic bonding.
What makes silicon a semiconductor?
Elements have two bands. One is Valence band and other is Conduction band. Valence band contains electrons whereas the conduction band is empty. The energy gap between them is called the forbidden gap. In case of metals, this gap is very small or the bands overlap. Therefore, the electrons are able to jump from the valence band to the conduction band and hence metal are able to conduct electricity and they are generally conductors. In case of Non-Metals, the energy gap is very large and hence hence electrons are not able to move from valence band to conduction band. Hence they are insulators. But in case of elements like Silicon, Germanium this gap is between Metals and Non-Metals, hence few electrons are able to move from valence band to conduction band. Therefore they have some conductivity but it is low and hence they are called semiconductors.
Why conduction band and valence band partially filled?
No. Conduction band is basically the unfilled energy levels into which electrons can be excited to provide conductivity.
Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.
What is the working principle of Light Emitting Diode and their commercial types?
when electron is excited from valence band to conduction band
