Energy Gap Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Energy Gap = Conduction Band Energy-Valence Band Energy
E_g = E_c-E_v
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Energy Gap - (Measured in Joule) - Energy gap in solid-state physics, an energy gap is an energy range in a solid where no electron states exist.
Conduction Band Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Conduction Band Energy is the energy band in a material where the electrons are free to move and participate in electrical conduction.
Valence Band Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Valence Band Energy is defined as the highest energy level in the valence band.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Conduction Band Energy: 17.5 Electron-Volt --> 2.80381032750001E-18 Joule (Check conversion here)
Valence Band Energy: 17.302 Electron-Volt --> 2.77208721636601E-18 Joule (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

E_g = E_c-E_v --> 2.80381032750001E-18-2.77208721636601E-18

Evaluating ... ...

E_g = 3.17231111340001E-20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.17231111340001E-20 Joule -->0.198 Electron-Volt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.198 Electron-Volt <-- Energy Gap

How is Energy Gap Formed?

Each band is formed due to the splitting of one or more atomic energy levels. Therefore, the minimum number of states in a band equals twice the number of atoms in the material.The core electrons are tightly bound to the atom and are not allowed to freely move in the material.

How to Calculate Energy Gap?

Energy Gap calculator uses Energy Gap = Conduction Band Energy-Valence Band Energy to calculate the Energy Gap, The Energy Gap formula is defined as in solid-state physics, an energy gap is an energy range in a solid where no electron states exist, i.e. an energy range where the density of states vanishes. Energy Gap is denoted by E_g symbol.

How to calculate Energy Gap using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Energy Gap, enter Conduction Band Energy (E_c) & Valence Band Energy (E_v) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Energy Gap calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.2E+18 = 2.80381032750001E-18-2.77208721636601E-18.

FAQ

What is Energy Gap?

The Energy Gap formula is defined as in solid-state physics, an energy gap is an energy range in a solid where no electron states exist, i.e. an energy range where the density of states vanishes and is represented as E_g = E_c-E_v or Energy Gap = Conduction Band Energy-Valence Band Energy. Conduction Band Energy is the energy band in a material where the electrons are free to move and participate in electrical conduction & Valence Band Energy is defined as the highest energy level in the valence band.

How to calculate Energy Gap?

The Energy Gap formula is defined as in solid-state physics, an energy gap is an energy range in a solid where no electron states exist, i.e. an energy range where the density of states vanishes is calculated using Energy Gap = Conduction Band Energy-Valence Band Energy. To calculate Energy Gap, you need Conduction Band Energy (E_c) & Valence Band Energy (E_v). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Conduction Band Energy & Valence Band Energy and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
