The direct band gap in tungsten diselenide allows for electrons to easily transition from the valence band to the conduction ...

Credit: Public domain Collectively, electrons that are not tightly attached to just one nucleus are called the conduction band. By absorbing energy in the form of a phonon (heat) or a photon ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

Because of the dual conduction bands, the pair spin-orbit interaction comes from the electric forces (Coulomb forces) of one band on the other bands electrons. An inversion asymmetry is no longer ...
