Energy Band Theory of Solids: Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators
Energy band theory of solids explains why some solids conduct electricity easily, why some do not, and why others behave in-between. Classical physics could not explain electrical conduction fully, but quantum mechanics and band theory together provide a complete picture. Solids are materials in which atoms are closely packed in a regular or irregular arrangement. […]
