    This document discusses semiconductor physics and band structure in solids. It explains that the energy levels of isolated atoms broaden into energy bands when atoms come together to form solids. Specifically, it describes the valence band, forbidden band or energy gap, and conduction band as the important energy bands in solids. It also provides brief definitions of fermions and bosons, noting that fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state while bosons are not restricted in this way.

    Miller’s Planes
    Band Structure in Solid

    Fig.1 The energy level of single isolated atom.


    The energy levels broaden into energy bands

    By considering Na (Sodium) z = 11 which has


    Energy Bands in Solids

    following are the important energy bands in the


    solids.
     Valence Band
     Forbidden Band or Energy Gap
     Conduction Band
    Fermions: In Particle Physics Fermion is a particle
    that follows the Fermi - Dirac Statistics.
    Two or more identical fermions (particles with half
    integral spin) can not occupy the same quantum
    state.
    e.g. Electron, Proton, Neutrons
    Bosons: In quantum mechanics a Boson is a
    particle which follows the Bose - Einstein’s
    statistics.
    An important characteristic of Boson is that, their
    statistics do not restrict the number of the number of
    bosons that occupy the same quantum state.
    Examples of Bosons are Photons, Glueons, Higgs
