Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct match of energy level diagram for blue and red LEDs should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The quantum dots of any solids can be defined as the semiconductor particles that have size in nanoparticle range and changes color with change in diameter of particles. These quantum dots are used in solar cells, LEDs, quantum computing, medical imaging. Since size of nanoparticle is intermediate between the bulk solids and atoms thus the spacing between electronic energy also has intermediate value between large for atoms and continuous band for bulk solids. Therefore, spacing between bands depends on size of nanoparticle. These different energy gaps can create valence band and conduction band and can give different colors on transition.

- The elements Cu, O, La, Y, Ba, Tl, and Bi are all found in high-temperature ceramic superconductors. Write the expected electron configuration for these atoms.arrow_forward8.96 A business manager wants to provide a wider range of p- and n-type semiconductors as a strategy to enhance sales. You are the lead materials engineer assigned to communicate with this manager. How would you explain why there are more ways to build a p-type semiconductor from silicon than there are ways to build an n-type semiconductor from silicon?arrow_forwardTrue or false: electrons move from one material to another because doing so will put them into energetically more stable (lower energy) orbitals. True or false: if an electrochemical process has a deltaG value that is negative in sign, that reaction, can, in theory, be used to build a battery.arrow_forward
