About this document
Temperature by Zeyad Essam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes an experiment to measure the band gap energy of semiconductors. The experiment involves heating a semiconductor sample submerged in water and measuring its resistance at different temperatures using an ohmmeter. By plotting resistance versus temperature and applying an equation, the band gap energy can be estimated. Semiconductors have a band gap between valence and conduction bands that electrons must overcome to conduct. Band gap energy determines conductivity, and can predict if a
