bandgap

the bandgap of a semiconductor determines its electrical conductivity.

researchers are studying how to engineer the bandgap for better solar cells.

a wider bandgap can lead to higher breakdown voltages in materials.

changing the temperature can affect the bandgap of certain materials.

graphene has a zero bandgap, making it an excellent conductor.

understanding the bandgap is crucial for developing new electronic devices.

different materials have unique bandgap values that influence their applications.

the bandgap can be engineered by altering the material's composition.

in insulators, the bandgap is typically large, preventing electrical flow.

narrowing the bandgap can enhance the absorption of light in photodetectors.
