  2. Zinc selenide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_selenide

    Zinc selenide is the inorganic compound with the formula ZnSe. It is a lemon-yellow solid although most samples have a duller color due to the effects of oxidation. It is an intrinsic semiconductor with a band gap of about 2.70 eV at 25 °C (77 °F), equivalent to a wavelength of 459 nm.

  3. CZTS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZTS

    Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is a quaternary semiconducting compound which has received increasing interest since the late 2000s for applications in thin film solar cells. The class of related materials includes other I 2 -II-IV-VI 4 such as copper zinc tin selenide (CZTSe) and the sulfur-selenium alloy CZTSSe.

  4. Band gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_gap

    The optical band gap (see below) determines what portion of the solar spectrum a photovoltaic cell absorbs. [18] Strictly, a semiconductor will not absorb photons of energy less than the band gap; whereas most of the photons with energies exceeding the band gap will generate heat. Neither of them contribute to the efficiency of a solar cell.

  5. Wide-bandgap semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-bandgap_semiconductor

    Wide-bandgap semiconductors (also known as WBG semiconductors or WBGSs) are semiconductor materials which have a larger band gap than conventional semiconductors. Conventional semiconductors like silicon and selenium have a bandgap in the range of 0.7 – 1.5 electronvolt (eV), whereas wide-bandgap materials have bandgaps in the range above 2 eV.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor...

    A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).

  7. II-VI semiconductor compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/II-VI_semiconductor_compound

    Tensions and impurities due to low crystal quality result in low optoelectronic properties. One example of the basic possibilities achievable with three different compounds is shown in the diagram with zinc oxide (ZnO), cadmium oxide (CdO) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Basically it is possible to gain any band gap between those of the three materials.

    After deputies arrested the child's father at the family's home, he reportedly agreed to speak with officers and, according to the complaint, said he used "a utility tool" for the procedure.

  9. Direct and indirect band gaps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_and_indirect_band_gaps

    In semiconductors, the band gap of a semiconductor can be of two basic types, a direct band gap or an indirect band gap. The minimal-energy state in the conduction band and the maximal-energy state in the valence band are each characterized by a certain crystal momentum (k-vector) in the Brillouin zone. If the k-vectors are different, the ...
