Conduction Band
In
semiconductors
and
insulators
, the
conduction band
is the range of
electron
energy
, higher than that of the
valence band
, sufficient to make the electrons free to
accelerate
under the influence of an applied
electric field
and thus constitute an
electric current
. See also:
Semiconductor
for a full explanation of the band structure of materials.
