The gap between valence and conduction bands in diamond is 5.47 eV.What is the maximum wavelength of a photon that can excite an electron from the top of the valence band into the conduction band? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this photon lie?
The forbidden energy bandgap of AIP is
2.43 eV. Determine the wavelength (in
nm) of an incident photon that can
interact with a valence electron and
elevate the electron into the conduction
band.
Oλ = 511 nm
Oλ = 419 nm
O λ = 882 nm
λ = 575 nm
However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be
A = 0.82i + 0.99j + 0.84k
B = 1.09i + -1.01j + -0.97k
What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?

- An SiO2 layer is formed on top of pure silicon. The Auger peak of silicon is at 91 eV. After oxidation, it is shifted to 78 eV. Therefore, pure and oxidized silicon are easily distinguishable. When the surface is oxidized, the silicon 91 eV peak intensity decreases because of attenuation by the silicon dioxide layer. After an SiO2 layer of thickness t is formed, the 91 eV Auger peak drops to 15% of its clean surface value. The angle of electron collection is 45o from the surface normal.
