Band Gap Energy — The amount of energy (in electron volts) required to free an outer shell electron from its orbit about the nucleus to a free state, and thus promote it from the valence to the conduction level … Energy terms
band gap energy — for semiconductors and insulators, the energies that lie between the valence and conduction bands; for intrinsic materials electrons are forbidden to have energies within this range … Mechanics glossary
Band gap — This article is about solid state physics. For voltage control circuitry in electronics, see Bandgap voltage reference. In solid state physics, a band gap, also called an energy gap or bandgap, is an energy range in a solid where no electron… … Wikipedia
