Electronic bandgap  

Definition

  • 1. the difference in energy between the valence band and the conduction band of a solid material (such as an insulator or semiconductor) that consists of the range of energy values forbidden to electrons in the material. (Merriam-Webster dictionary) 2. an energy range in a solid where no electronic states exist. In graphs of the electronic band structure of solids, the band gap refers to the energy difference (often expressed in electronvolts) between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band in insulators and semiconductors.
