QUESTION 4
The energy gap of GaP is 2.26 eV. Show that partial absorption of visible light is
a)
occurred when GaP wafer exposed to visible light, and the materials appears reddish.
For visible light, the photon energy is in the range of 1.8 – 3.1 eV.
In some semiconductor material the bottom of conduction band does not lie at the
b)
origin (k + 0). For the absorption process, the electrons absorb the photon and phonon
simultaneously to make a transition from valence band to conduction band.
Given the wavelength of photon is 2- 10°m and for optical phonon the wavelength is
2~10-9m, respectively. Using the calculated values of energy and momentum of
phonon and photon, explain the main roles of photon and phonon for the transition
proses. (Given phonon velocity, Vph = 3000 ms-', speed of light, c = 3 x 108 ms1 and
Plank constant, h= 4.1357 x 10-15 eVs)
