Energy Levels in

Av = 1 hannonic oscillator selection mle. Furthennore, the overtone intensities for an anhannonic oscillator are obtained in a straightforward maimer by detennining the eigenfiinctions of the energy levels in a hannonic oscillator basis set, and then simnning the weighted contributions from the hannonic oscillator integrals.

Far-infrared and mid-infrared spectroscopy usually provide the most detailed picture of the vibration-rotation energy levels in the ground electronic state. However, they are not always possible and other spectroscopic methods are also important. 

All teclmologically important properties of semiconductors are detennined by defect-associated energy levels in the gap. The conductivity of pure semiconductors varies as g expf-A CgT), where is the gap. In most semiconductors with practical applications, the size of the gap, E 1-2 eV, makes the thennal excitation of electrons across the gap a relatively unimportant process. The introduction of shallow states into the gap through doping, with either donors or acceptors, allows for large changes in conductivity (figure C2.16.1). The donor and acceptor levels are typically a few meV below the CB and a few tens of meV above the VB, respectively. The depth of these levels usually scales with the size of the gap (see below). 

Shallow impurities have energy levels in the gap but very close to a band. If an impurity has an empty level close to the VB maximum, an electron can be thennally promoted from the VB into this level, leaving a hole in the VB. Such an impurity is a shallow acceptor. On the other hand, if an impurity has an occupied level very close to the CB minimum, the electron in that level can be thennally promoted into the CB where it participates in the conductivity. Such an impurity is a shallow donor.

We shall consider just two examples of the use of femtosecond lasers in spectroscopy. One is an investigation of the transition state in the dissociation of Nal and the other concerns the direct, time-based observation of vibrational energy levels in an excited electronic state of I2. 

The equihbtium lever relation, np = can be regarded from a chemical kinetics perspective as the result of a balance between the generation and recombination of electrons and holes (21). In extrinsic semiconductors recombination is assisted by chemical defects, such as transition metals, which introduce new energy levels in the energy gap. The recombination rate in extrinsic semiconductors is limited by the lifetime of minority carriers which, according to the equihbtium lever relation, have much lower concentrations than majority carriers. Thus, for a -type semiconductor where electrons are the minority carrier, the recombination rate is /S n/z. An = n — is the increase of the electron concentration over its value in thermal equihbtium, and...

Fig. 1. The energy levels in a semiconductor. Shown are the valence and conduction bands and the forbidden gap in between where represents an occupied level, ie, electrons are present O, an unoccupied level and -3- an energy level arising from a chemical defect D and occurring within the forbidden gap. The electrons in each band are somewhat independent, (a) A cold semiconductor in pitch darkness where the valence band levels are filled and conduction band levels are empty, (b) The same semiconductor exposed to intense light or some other form of excitation showing the quasi-Fermi level for each band. The energy levels are occupied up to the available voltage for that band. There is a population inversion between conduction and valence bands which can lead to optical gain and possible lasing. Conversely, the chemical potential difference between the quasi-Fermi levels can be connected as the output voltage of a solar cell. Fquilihrium is reestabUshed by stepwise recombination at the defect levels D within the forbidden gap.
