Study resources
- HyperPhysics - atomic structure and band theory of solids (Article) — Search the index for 'band theory, solids' and 'Fermi level'. Each entry is a single screen with the formula and diagram, which is ideal for a quick check before the exam.
- Band Theory of Solids - Physics LibreTexts (OpenStax) (Article) — Explains how discrete atomic levels split into continuous bands as N atoms come together, and classifies metals, insulators and semiconductors by band gap. Contains the diagrams you should reproduce…
- Band Theory of Solids - Introduction to Semiconductor Devices (LibreTexts) (Article) — Same material but placed inside a semiconductor-devices chapter, so it connects band theory straight to doping and junctions rather than stopping at solid-state theory.
