The band gap energy, Eg in silicon was found by exploiting the linear relationship between the temperature and voltage for the constant current in the temperature range of 275 K to 333 K. Within the precision of our experiment, the results obtained are in good agreement with the known value energy gap in silicon. The temperature dependence of Eg for silicon has also been studied.

High temperature stability of band-gap energy of active layer material of a semiconductor device is one of the major challenges in the field of semiconductor optoelectronic device design. It is essential to ensure the stability in different band-gap energy dependent characteristics of the semiconductor material used to fabricate these devices either directly or indirectly. Different models have been widely used to analyze the band-gap energy dependent characteristics at different temperatures. The most commonly used methods to analyze the temperature dependence of band-gap energy of semiconductor materials are: Passler model, Bose–Einstein model and Varshni’s model. This paper is going to report the limitation of the Bose–Einstein model through a comparative analysis between Bose–Einstein model and Varshni’s model. The numerical analysis is carried out considering GaN as it is one of the most widely used semiconductor materials all over the world. From the numerical results it is ascertained that below the temperature of 95o K both the models show almost same characteristics. However beyond 95o K Varshni’s model shows weaker temperature dependence than that of Bose–Einstein model. Varshni’s model shows that the band-gap energy of GaN at 300o K is found to be 3.43eV, which establishes a good agreement with the theoretically calculated band-gap energy of GaN for operating at room temperature.

AbstractPhotoluminescence spectra of hexagonal GaN were measured in the temperature range T= 2 – 1200 K. We identify the Free Exciton (FX) as the dominant recombination process in our high quality samples for temperatures above 200 K. From the line shape fit of the FX we determine the excitonic band gap shift with temperature. An analysis according to the empirical Varshni equation gives Eg (T)-Eg(0 K) = (-α T2)/(T + β), with α = (7.3 ± 0.3)·10−4 eV/K and β = (594 ± 54) K. We have detected significant differences in the band gap energy at low and higher temperatures for GaN layers grown on different substrate materials. Heating GaN above 1200 K leads to irreversible changes in the near band gap photoluminescence spectra.

AbstractMid-infrared photoresponse studies were performed on an oriented p-type cadmium germanium arsenide uniaxial crystal. The effects of optical polarization alignment, parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis of the crystal, were studied, as well as the effects of the transport electric-field direction. The measured optical band edge was 0.578 eV at 10 K for all polarization and bias configurations. This band gap energy is in good agreement with absorption and photoluminescence results for this sample. However, the photoresponse spectrum measured with unpolarized light at 10 K showed a much lower onset at 0.50 eV. This difference in the low temperature activation energy of the photoresponse is attributed to deep native defect levels near the band edge. These deep levels at times obscure the true band edge and can cause under estimates of the band gap energy. These results can explain the wide disparity in the reported CdGeAs2 band gap in the literature. In addition, the intensity of the photoresponse was found to be only slightly dependent on the optical polarization direction, but strongly dependent on the bias electric-field direction. The largest photoreponse was observed when the optical polarization was parallel to the c-axis and the bias electric field was perpendicular to the c-axis. The bias electric-field direction also had a significant effect upon the temperature dependence of the peak photoresponse intensity. The temperature dependence of the CdGeAs2 energy band gap was determined by empirical fitting.
