ModernMaterials
Formation of Bands
As the number of atoms grows, so does the number of molecular orbitals,
then merge to form
bands
many MOs a BAND

Semiconductors and Insuators
Rather than having molecular orbitals separated by an energy gap, these substances have energy bands.
Conduction Band: from antibonding MOs
Valence Band:
from bonding MOs

Classification of Materials:Based on electrical conductivity
The gap between bands determines whether a substance is a metal, a semiconductor, or an insulator.

Types of Materials

Metals
• No energy separation between Valence Band and Conduction Band
Two bands merge to One
• Valence electrons are in
a partially-filled band.
ModernMaterials

Metals
• There is virtually no energy needed for an electron to go from the lower, occupied part of the band to the higher, unoccupied part.
• This is how a metal conducts electricity.
ModernMaterials

Semiconductors
Semiconductors have a gap between the valence band and conduction band of ~50-300 kJ/mol (0.5~3 eV).

Semiconductors• Among elements, only silicon,
germanium and graphite (carbon), all of which have 4 valence electrons, are semiconductors.
• Inorganic semiconductors (like GaAs) tend to have an average of 4 valence electrons (3 for Ga, 5 for As).
ModernMaterials

Doping• By introducing
very small amounts of impurities that have more (n-Type) or fewer (p-Type) valence electrons, one can increase the conductivity of a semiconductor.
n-Type : Group IV & Vp-Type : Group IV & III
• Transistor

Insulators
• The energy band gap in insulating materials is generally greater than ~350 kJ/mol.
• They are not conductive.

Electronics
• Silicon is very abundant, and is a natural semiconductor.
• This makes it a perfect substrate for transistors, integrated circuits, and chips.
ModernMaterials

Integrated Circuit (IC)(microcircuit, microchip, silicon chip, or chip)
• a miniaturized electronic circuit (consisting mainly of semiconductor devices) that is built in the surface of a thin semiconductor material.
• in almost all electronic equipment in use today and have revolutionized the world of electronics.

Photovoltaic Effect & Solar Cell conversion of solar energy, producing electricity from light
(1) Light hits electrons in the VB (of n-type) excited it to CB (pumping e’s to higher energy level)
(2) The promoted electrons at the upper energy level of the CB can cross the junction to CB of p-type, then to it’s VB,
to complete a cycle.

ModernMaterials
Photovoltaic Effect & Solar Cells : n-p Diodes → produce electricity from light
(1) Light hits electrons in in the valence bands exciting it to conduction bands (pumping e’s to higher energy level)
(2) The excited electrons at the upper energy level of the CB moves to the lowest level of the CB.
This process is revered in LED to generate light from electricity
ModernMaterials
Light Emitting Diode: a n-p diode - an opposite of photo voltaic process
(1) Small voltage is applied across the n-p junction
(2) Electrons in the CB of n-side are forced to the junction where they meets the holes at the p-side.
(3) Electron falls into the holes that is at a lower energy level,
thus generating a light.
(4) Color (wavelength) light emitted depends on the band gap energy

Solution:
E = h x f = h x c / wavelength
Wavelength = hc / E
=(6.626E-34Js)(3.00E+8m/s) / 2.26eV
=(6.626E-34Js)(3.00E+8m/s) / 2.26eV x (1/1.602E-19eV/J) x (1E9nm/m)
= 549 nm (Green)

Solution:E = hc / wavelength =
=(6.626E-34Js)(3.00E+8m/s) / 520nm = 2.38eV
2.38eV = E(GaP) + E (AlP) = 2.26x eV + 2.43(1-x) eV x: fraction of GaP (1-x): fraction of AlP 2.38 = 2.26x + 2.43(1-x) x= 0.294, for fraction of GaP 1-x= 0.706, for fraction of AlP.

Addition Polymers
Addition polymers are made by coupling the monomers by converting -bonds within each monomer to -bonds between monomers.

Condensation Polymers
• Condensation polymers are made by joining two subunits through a reaction in which a smaller molecule (often water) is also formed as a by-product.
• These are also called copolymers.

Properties of Polymers
Interactions between chains of a polymer lend elements of order to the structure of polymers.
ModernMaterials
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Properties of Polymers
Stretching the polymer chains as they form can increase the amount of order, leading to a degree of crystallinity of the polymer.
ModernMaterials
© 2009, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Properties of Polymers
Such differences in crystallinity can lead to polymers of the same substance that have very different physical properties.
ModernMaterials

Cross-Linking
Chemically bonding chains of polymers to each other can stiffen and strengthen the substance.
ModernMaterials

Cross-Linking
Naturally-occurring rubber is too soft and pliable for many applications.
ModernMaterials

Cross-Linking
In vulcanization, chains are cross-linked by short chains of sulfur atoms, making the rubber stronger and less susceptible to degradation.
