| 21. | In resonant excitation, the core electron is promoted to a bound state in the conduction band.
|
| 22. | In any semiconductor, increasing temperature will promote some electrons into the conduction band " mechanically ".
|
| 23. | VB = valence band, CB = conduction band
|
| 24. | A smaller amount have energy levels above the forbidden gap, and this is the conduction band.
|
| 25. | As the name implies, electrons in the conduction band are free to move about the semiconductor.
|
| 26. | The top of the valence band is higher than the bottom of the conduction band in energy.
|
| 27. | In contrast to Kondo insulators, the chemical potential of heavy fermion compounds lies within the conduction band.
|
| 28. | This condition is only satisfied in the conduction band, since the valence band is full in non-metals.
|
| 29. | For electrons at the conduction band edge, very few states are available for the electron to occupy.
|
| 30. | Heat conduction in steel, like all metals, is totally dominated by the propagation of conduction band electrons.
