Chapter 1: Problem 6

Consult your reference library and determine the level of \(E_{g}\) for GaP, ZnS, and GaAsP, three semiconductor materials of practical value. In addition, determine the written name for each material.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The band gap energy levels for GaP, ZnS, and GaAsP can be found in the reference library. The full names for these materials are Gallium Phosphide, Zinc Sulfide, and Gallium Arsenide Phosphide, respectively.

Step by step solution

01

- Consult the Reference Library for \(E_{g}\) for GaP

Look up the band gap energy level for GaP in the reference library. GaP stands for Gallium Phosphide.
02

- Consult the Reference Library for \(E_{g}\) for ZnS

Look up the band gap energy level for ZnS in the reference library. ZnS stands for Zinc Sulfide.
03

- Consult the Reference Library for \(E_{g}\) for GaAsP

Look up the band gap energy level for GaAsP in the reference library. GaAsP stands for Gallium Arsenide Phosphide.
