For Conductors For Semiconductors For insulators
Theory:
Solids are classified according to energy band structure. Itconsists of two bands, namely valance band and conduction bandseparated by a gap known as forbidden energy gap (Eg). The band,which is occupied by valance electrons and has highest occupied band
energy at absolute zero temperature is called valance band. It may bepartially filled up depending upon the nature of the solid.
The lowest unfilled energy band at absolute zero temperature iscalled conduction band. The electrons in valance band can betransferred to conduction band by providing them the energy equal toEg.
On the basis of forbidden energy gap, solids are classified into
three groups, namely Conductors, Semiconductors, Insulators.Eg = 0 eV in conductors,0 00 K.

Theory:
The direct conversion of solar energy by means of thephotovoltaic effect, that is, the conversion of light (or otherelectromagnetic radiation) into electricity. The photovoltaic effect isdefined as the generation of an electromotive force as a result of the
absorption of ionizing radiation (later explained in detail). Energyconversion devices which are used to convert sunlight to electricity bythe use of the photovoltaic effectare called solar cells. A single
converter cell is called a solar cell or, more generally, a photovoltaiccell, and combination of such cells; designed to increase the electricpower output is called solar moduleor solar array.
The photovoltaic effect can be observed in nature in a variety of
materials, but the materials that have shown the best performance insunlight are the semiconductors. When photons from the sun areabsorbed in a semiconductor, they create free electrons with higherenergies than the electrons which provide the bonding in the basecrystal. Once these electrons are created, there must be an electricfield to induce these higher energy electrons to flow out of thesemiconductor to do useful work. The electric field in most solar cells
is provided by a junction of materials which have different electricalproperties.
To obtain a useful power output from photon interaction in asemi-conductor three processes are required.1. The photons have to be absorbed in the active part of the material
and result in electrons being excited to a higher energy potential.2. The electron hole charge carriers created by the absorption must be
physically separated and moved to the edge of the cell.3. The charge carriers must be removed from the cell and delivered to
a useful load before they loose their extra potential.For completing the above processes, a solar cell consists of:
(a) Semi-conductor in which electron hole pairs are created byabsorption of incident solar radiation.
(b) Region containing a drift field for charge separation, and(c) Charge collecting front and back electrodes.
The photo-voltaic effect can be described easily for p-n junction in
semi-conductor. In this junction after the photons are absorbed, thefree electrons of the n-side will tend to flow to the p-side, and the holesof p-side will tend to flow to the n-region to compensate for theirrespective deficiencies. This diffusion will create an electric field EFfrom the n-region to the p-region. This field will increase until itreaches equilibrium for Ve, the sum of the diffusion potentials for holesand electrons.

If electrical contacts are made with the two semiconductormaterials and the contacts are connected through an external
electrical conductor, the free electron will flow from the n-type materialthrough the conductor to the p-type material as shown in the figure.Here the free electrons will enter the holes and become boundelectrons; thus both free electrons and holes will be removed. The flowof electrons through the external conductor constitutes an electriccurrent which will continue as long as more free electrons and holesare being formed by the solar radiation. This is the basis ofphotovoltaic conversion, that is, the conversion of solar energy intoelectrical energy. The combination ofn-type andp-type semiconductors
thus constitutes a photovoltaic (PV) cell or solar cell. All such cells
generate direct current which can be converted into alternatingcurrent if desired.

Theory:
Photo diode works on the principle of photoelectric effect. Whenlight is made incident on the surface of certain metals, electrons are
emitted by the surface. This is called photoelectric effect. A photo diodeconsists of an evacuated tube with two electrodes.
When light is incident on plate E, electrons are emitted from its
surface. The positive potential at cathode C accelerates these electronstowards C and current flows through the external circuit. It is observedthat current flows even when the applied voltage is zero and a negativepotential V0 has to be applied to reduce the current to zero. V0 iscalled the stopping potential. As the intensity of incident radiationincreases, the current increases even for constant voltage however Voremains the same. These observations cannot be explained using the
classical concepts of light as an electromagnetic wave. Einstein gavethe explanation of photoelectric effect based on the concept of photonand thereby established the concept of wave-particle duality of
radiation.
According to Einsteins explanation, the electron is ejected out fromthe metal surface as a result of the energy transfer between photonand electron in an elastic collision. If the energy of the incident photon
(E = hR, by Plancks theory) exceeds the binding energy of the valanceelectron, the electron is knocked out. If the intensity of light isincreased, the number of incident photons increases, leading to more
collisions and emission of more electrons. However, the energy of theelectrons remains the same. Therefore current increases with intensitybut V0 remain constant. Increasing the voltage does not lead to an
increase in current, because the current is dependent on the numberof incident photons, rather than the K.E. of the electrons.

Theory:
Hall observed that, when a strip of metal carrying current wasplaced in a transverse magnetic field, a potential difference wasdeveloped across the strip perpendicular to both direction of currentand the magnetic field.
It was later shown that, semiconductors also exhibits Hall effect,and the direction of electric field developed because of inducedpotential depends on whether the current is due to electrons or holes.
In order to understand Hall Effect consider a rectangular strip ofn-type semi-conductor material. Under the application of somepotential difference, let current I flow through it along positive X-direction. Let the magnetic field B act along the positive Z-direction as
shown in figure.

As the magnetic field is applied, the magnetic force acts alongnegative Y- direction. As the semiconductor is n-type, the charge
carriers are electrons.The magnitude of force is given by,
veBF ..1 ! ---------------------- (1)
Where, !v drift velocity.
e= charge on electron.
Thus due to this force the electrons are forced to move innegative Y-direction and soon obstructed by the walls of specimen andget accumulated there. Because of charge accumulation towards side1, it becomes negatively charged w. r. t. side 2. The electric field isdeveloped between side 1 and side 2 directed along negative Y-direction. This electric field opposes further movement of electronstowards side 1. In equilibrium condition the force due to electric field
is balanced to the force due to magnetic field and the current flows inthe positive X-direction only. At this stage a steady potential differenceis produced between side 1 and side 2 called as Hall Voltage, VH.

Here, VH is positive at side 2 w. r. t. side 1 as we considered the
conduction is due to electrons. (n-type semiconductor). If the side 2 isnegative w. r. t. side 1 then the charge carriers are holes i.e. thesemiconductor isp-type.
Thus measurement of Hall Voltage helps us to identify whetherthe given semiconductor isp-type or n-type.

Theory:
LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissionof Radiation. Laser is a quantum electronic device which produces
very intense, unidirectional, monochromatic and coherent beam oflight. Laser beam of visible light is highly parallel. For this reason, itcan travel many miles without appreciable divergence.
Laser action:
When an atom absorbs energy it goes to higher energy states andit emits light during its transition from this excited higher energy state
to the lower energy state.Consider two energy levels E1 and E2 ground and excited statesrespectively in an atom as shown in figure (a). If the atom is in lowerstate E1 and when a photon of energy (E2-E1) strikes the atom, it goesin the excited state E2 by absorbing the energy of photon.

The atom can stay in the ground state for unlimited time. On theother hand atom can remain in a excited state for limited time, knownas Life Time. Life time of excited H2 atom is of the order of 10-8
seconds. However some of the excited states have longer life time of theorder of 10-3 seconds. These states are called as Meta-stable States.
These states play very important role in Laser operation.Now in figure (b) the atom is in excited state E2 and there is no
radiation nearby.
After the life time of this state if the transition of an atom is
allowed on its own accord spontaneously from level E2 to level E1. Itemits a photon of frequency E2-E1/h. This is called as SpontaneousEmission. Spontaneous emission depends on the type of the atom andtype of transition but is independent of outside circumstances. It is
random in character. The radiation is random mixture of quantahaving various wavelengths. The waves coincide nether neither inwavelength nor in phase. Thus radiation is in-coherent and has broadspectrum.
In addition to spontaneous emission there is another possibilityas shown in figure (c).

Figure shows the atom again in excited state E2. If a photoncomes along of exactly the frequency (E2 - E1)/h, it can force the atomto fall to the lower level and emit a photon of the same frequency. Thismeans that under the effect of another external photon an atom canpass from an excited state to lower state emitting photon not onlyspontaneously but also forced to it. When the atoms are in the excitedenergy level, emission is stimulated before spontaneous emission
occurs. The absorption of incident photon causes two photons to beemitted, one by spontaneous and other by stimulated emission. Boththe photons travel in the same direction have the same frequency andphase i.e. they are coherent. The emission of two photons with aninput of only one photon implies amplification.
The occurrence of spontaneous emission is directly proportionalto the number of atoms in the specified energy level, whereas instimulated emission the rate of occurrence is proportional not only tothe number of atoms in the excited state but also number of incidentphotons.
Population Inversion:
The process of getting large number of atoms in excited statethan lower level is called as population inversion. If large number of
atoms can be excited to upper energy levels then the probability ofstimulated emission i.e. light amplification increases. The system inwhich population of higher energy state is more than population oflower energy state is called as Negative Temperature State. Negativetemperature state is not a physical quantity; it just indicates that the
system is non-equilibrium.When the atomic system interacts with photon it undergoes with
the process of stimulated absorption, spontaneous emission as well asstimulated emission.
If, N1 = Number of atoms in lower energy state E1.N2 = Number of atoms in higher energy state E2.
Normally,N1 > N2
If the photons of energy 12 EEh !R are incident on the atom,
photons get absorbed and some of the atoms get excited to state E2.
This process of stimulated absorption depopulates level E1.The rate at which process occurs is expressed as,R12 = Pa.N1 -------- (1)
Where Pa = probability of stimulated absorption.Similarly, the stimulated emission depopulates energy level E2
resulting in the emission of photons.The rate at which process occurs is,R21 = Pe.N2 -------- (2)
Where Pe = probability of stimulated emission.At equilibrium, Pa = Pe.

Then comparing two rates in equation (1) and (2), it is observedthat more energy is absorbed than emitted.
i.e. Pa.N1 > Pe.N2 21 NN "3
To produce more emission it is essential to have N2 > N1. This iscalled as Population Inversion. The system in which populationinversion is achieved is called as active system. The method of risingatoms from lower energy level to higher energy level is called as Optical
Pumping.
Optical Pumping:
To achieve steady state population inversion a three level systemis used as shown in figure below.
The three level systems consist of energy levels E1, E2 and E3. Let
N1, N2 and N3 be the population densities of these levels respectively.
In equilibrium,N1 > N3
The pump lifts atoms from level E1 to level E3 from which theydecay rapidly to level E2 through some non-radiation process. If thisnon-radiation process is very fast between the levels E3 and E2, theelectrons from level E3 get transferred to level E2 rather than return tolevel E1. Level E2 is a meta-stable state with a longer life time. As aresult the rate at which the atoms are pumped to level E3 exceeds. Thesituation is raised where the number of atoms reaching and remainingin level E2 exceeds than the number of atoms in level E1. Thus
population inversion is achieved. When electrons make transition fromE2 to E1 radiations of frequency (E2-E1)/h are given out.
