6. (a) Energy band diagram of a metal
(a) Energy band diagram of a metal. (b) In the absence of a field, there are as many electrons moving right as there are moving left. The motions of two electrons at each energy cancel each other as for a and b. (c) In the presence of a field in the ­x direction, the electron a accelerates and gains energy to a’ where it is scattered to an empty state near EFO but moving in the -x direction. The average of all momenta values is along the +x direction and results in a net electrical current.

13. The E-k diagram of a direct bandgap semiconductor such as GaAs
The E-k diagram of a direct bandgap semiconductor such as GaAs. The E-k curve consists of many discrete points each point corresponding to a possible state, wavefunction y k(x), that is allowed to exist in the crystal. The points are so close that we normally draw the E-k relationship as a continuous curve. In the energy range Ev to Ec there are no points (yk(x) solutions).
