Y2(Te4O10)(SO4), featuring a unique (Te4O10)4− polyanion, exhibits a large birefringence (0.124@1064), wide energy band gap (4.1 eV) and high thermal stability (>700 °C), which make it a potential birefringent material.

Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is a perovskite based oxides with many potential application in electronic devices. From experimental report BaTiO3 has wide energy band gap of about 3.4 eV which by doped with Ca and Zr at A- and B- sites respectively can enhance their piezoelectric properties. Using first principles method within the density functional theory (DFT) as implement in Quantum Espresso (QE) with the plane wave pseudo potential function, the influence of the Ca and Zr doping in BaTiO3 are studied via electronic properties: band structure, total density of states (TDOS) and partial density of states (PDOS). The energy band gap calculated was underestimation which is similar to other DFT work. Two direct band gap where observed in Ba0.875Ca0.125Ti0.875Zr0.125O3 sample at Γ- Γ (2.31 eV) and X- X (2.35 eV) symmetry point.

We investigate why normal electrons in superconductors have no resistance. Under the same conditions, the band gap is reduced to zero as well, but normal electrons at superconducting states are condensed into this virtual energy band gap.

The CdS nanoparticles of different sizes are synthesized by a simple chemical method. Here, CdS nanoparticles are grown through the reaction of solution of different concentration of CdCl2 with H2S. X-ray diffraction pattern confirms nano nature of CdS and has been used to determine the size of particle. Optical absorption spectroscopy is used to measure the energy band gap of these nanomaterials by using Tauc relation. Energy band gap ranging between 3.12 eV to 2.47 eV have been obtained for the samples containing the nanoparticles in the range of 2.3 to 6.0 nm size. A correlation between the band gap and size of the nanoparticles is also established.
