Energy Bands in Periodic Structures

Conduction band

Valence band

1. When the atoms are far apart, there is no interaction among them, and each of

them has the same electronic energy level structures.

2. As the atoms get close to make covalent bonding, their energy levels are

divided into separate energy bands according to the Pauli’s exclusion

principle.

3. The energy bands are separated into valence band, energy gap, and conduction

band.

This is precisely the field produced by q (at r) at the center of the sphere.

So the average field (over the sphere) due to a point charge outside the sphere is

the same as the field that same charge produces at the center.

By superposition, this holds for any collection of exterior charges.
