Absorbance
Band gap
VB
Wavelength /nm
A Typical Insulator-ZnO
Consider ZnO: Its band gap is 3.7eV, corresponding to light with a
wavelength of ~380nm. This is in the UV. Hence no visible light
can excite the crystal. All visible light passes through and the
material is colourless if the crystal is pure. A good crystal will
allow complete transmission. White means there is surface
roughness that the incident light is being reflected or scattered
incoherently.
Q. Are the band gaps of glass and chalk 400nm?
ZnO is used in suncreams. In older formulations suncream is
white, but modern formulations use much smaller particles and
the suncream can be colourless.
End of Lecture 6
• Summary
• There are three basic types of materials – insulator,
semiconductor, metal.
• They arise from bands being filled, half filled or empty. (dband metals are more complex).
• The bandgap determines the colour of the material. Materials
with bands tend to have very high absorption coefficients for
all energies above the band gap and to be more or less
transparent below the bandgap.

Lecture 7 – More on Band Structure, Energy Levels and Doping
Goals (Lecture 7):
•

•
•
To learn about doping of crystals.
To link different forms of spectroscopy to the band structure.
To understand how we establish energy levels in solids.
Recognise different recombination pathways for charge carriers.
Semiconductor, Metal and Insulator Colours (Rehash)
In molecules, the electronic structure is broken up into molecular
orbitals. There are two electrons in each orbital, and the basic
rule for absorption is E1- E2 = hv
The same basic rule applies to crystals but now, the absorption is
between bands.
Eg
Q. What colour is this material?
Yellow! Your eye perceives a mixture of red and green light as yellow.
The blue is absorbed so red and green are reflected.
Molecular vs Band Absorption Spectra
• A simple molecule has a HOMO and LUMO. The difference in
energy is E=hv = ELUMO-EHOMO.
• Light is only absorbed if it matches this energy. The spectrum
is a single sharp line. (A real molecule has many such sharp
lines. They are also broadened by vibrations.)

Band Absorption Spectra
• The density of states (filled and empty orbitals is high and
increases above the band gap. There are many ways for
transitions to occur between a filled and empty state.
• Absorption is very high at ALL wavelengths above the band
gap.
• Below the band gap, absorption falls close to zero very quickly.

the suncream can be colourless.
Semiconductors – Excess Energy is Lost
• Many semiconductors have very high absorption coefficients.
• Note: excess energy above the band gap is lost as heat (fs-ps).
CB
VB
For every photon, all excess energy is
lost above the bandgap. So for example if
the band gap is 1.7eV (700nm), then a
photon with energy of 3eV, (400nm) is
losing 1.3eV or 42%.
Semiconductors – Recombination
To get back to the ground state, the electrons and holes can
recombine through several different processes.
Right: Electrons at the
bottom of the CB lose
energy by non-radiative
pathways (surface states,
defects, recombination
centres). A few materials
will lose the energy as
fluorescence.

End of Lecture 7
Summary
• In an intrinsic or pure semiconductor, electrons and holes are
created in equal numbers, either thermally or by light.
• Electrons and holes recombine mostly non-radiatively
(otherwise the world around us would fluoresce!).
• In most materials, there are bulk traps and defects or surface
traps and defects that make recombination occur in ps-ns.
• We can measure the energy levels of a crystal on the vacuum
scale to do quantitative measurements and for device
fabrication.
• The Fermi level plays a similar role to chemical potential or Eo
in solution chemistry.
Lecture 8 – Conductivity in Semiconductors
Goals
•
Quantify the links between doping and electrical conductivity.
• Quantify the effects of temperature on conductivity.
Lecture 8 – Conductivity Measurements
1. When an electric field is applied to a macroscopic material, a current
can flow due to both ions (ionic conduction) or the motion of electrons
and holes (electronic conduction).
2. From Ohm’s Law (V=IR), we can readily derive an equation for the
RA
resistivity:
ρ=
l
1
3.Sometimes we use the conductivity σ =
ρ
4. An alternative way to express Ohm’s Law is J = σ E
5. When a field is applied, there is
a steady state current J=nev.
Defining the mobility as µ = v / E
yields an expression for the
conductivity σ = n e µ
Check this using : J=I/A; E = V/l, sigma= l/RA

What happens at contact?
• When two materials touch, the electrons try to move from
the phase with higher Fermi energy to the one with lower
Fermi energy. For metals, a voltage called the contact
potential difference forms at the surface.

Q: The threshold wavelength for
the photoelectric effect is 271
nm for tungsten and 262 nm for
silver. What is the contact
potential developed when silver
and tungsten are placed in
contact?
A. The photon wavelengths correspond to work functions of 4.58eV
and 4.71eV, so the CPD = 0.13eV/e = 0.13V
Aside: The Boltzmann Distribution
In science, a Boltzmann distribution is a probability distribution or probability
measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain state as a function of
that state's energy and the temperature of the system. The distribution is expressed in the
form:
!! ∝ # "#! /%&
where pi is the probability of the system being in state i, Ei is the energy of that state, and
a constant kT of the distribution is the product of Boltzmann's
constant k and thermodynamic temperature T.
The term system here has a very wide meaning; it can range from a single atom to a
macroscopic system such as a natural gas storage tank! Because of this the Boltzmann
distribution can be used to solve a very wide variety of problems. The distribution shows
that states with lower energy will always have a higher probability of being occupied.
The ratio of probabilities of two states is known as the Boltzmann factor and
characteristically only depends on the states' energy difference:

∝ # #(%! #%" )/()

n.p = Constant!
• Using the Boltzmann distribution it can be shown that
⎛ −E g ⎞
n = p = (N v Nc ) exp ⎜
⎟ = ni
⎝ 2kT ⎠
1/2
The product of the concentration of electrons and holes is a
constant, irrespective of doping., Nv and Nc correspond to roughly
one orbital per atom so the density or concentration is similar to
the number of atoms per cm3.

applied to such a sample?
Answer:

Semiconductor Conductivities
Conductivity of semiconductors is due to both types of charge
carriers. The relative importance of each depends on the doping.
σ = n e µe + p e µh
Question: For intrinsic silicon, Room Temp conductivity is 4 x 10-4
(Ohm-m)-1, and the electron and hole mobilities are 0.14 and 0.048

Doping silicon with phosphorus
Question: Phosphorus is used to dope silicon with 1023 m-3 P
atoms. Calculate the conductivity of the sample.
Answer: The intrinsic doping level of Si is ~1018m-3. So the dopant
dominates the conductivity. Use:
σ = n e µe = 10 23 × 1.6 × 10 −19 C × 0.14m 2 / Vs = 2240(Ω − m)−1
Although the mobility can drop with increasing temperature,
increasing temperature boosts the thermal population of intrinsic
carriers and also helps to ionise deep donors /acceptors.

Some Current Research Directions
Outline
Goals- To understand the basic way that a p-n junction works.
– To understand the basic way a solar cell works and the limits
placed on them by band structure.
– To exemplify the increasing role of hybrid materials with
electrochromic cells.
– Review the learning goals of Lectures 1-9.
Formation of a Depletion Layer
(a) Two metals prior to electrical contact.
(b) After contact, here through an external wire, electrons flow from the low work
function to high work function metal. The build up of charge changes the work function
until the two metals are in equilibrium.
(c) One can apply a voltage to remove the electric field or alter the Fermi level
difference between the metals.
Note: The long line is the positive terminal of a battery.
Formation of a Depletion Layer or pn Junction
Unlike metals, the doping density in a semiconductor is quite small. So to build up the contact
potential difference (VB), the charges come from a finite distance inside the semiconductors,
sometimes 100nm in depth.

Optimal Band Gap for Photovoltaics
The ideal bandgap for a
single junction PV device
operating at AM 1.5 and
around 1- 10 suns is 1.4eV.
The materials should be
highly absorbing and ideally
should be able to be doped
over a wide concentration
range.
Current leaders are Si, CdTe,
CuInS2 while the best multijunction cells use
GaAs/GaInP/Ge.
See Boeing Spectrolab – efficiency is 41% but cost is C. US$70,000 /m2, compared with ~$500
for a 22% commercial Si panel.
The Future – Flexible Electronics
• Need materials that can handle
bending without cracking.
• Need to process < 180oC
• Need to be able to process
through printing and solution
based processes such as dipcoating, spin coating etc.

Thermodynamics
• Thermodynamics means “heat” and “movement”
• It is about the interconversion of different forms of energy
– Thermodynamics is the quintessential Victorian science
– Began and grew with the development of the steam engine concerned with the conversion of heat energy into mechanical
energy
• In chemistry can deal with the conversion of chemical
energy into electrical energy (redox reactions) or into heat
(thermochemistry)

Arnold Sommerfeld
• “Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first
time you go through it, you don't understand it
at all. The second time you go through it, you
think you understand it, except for one or two
points.The third time you go through it, you
know you don't understand it, but by that time
you are so used to the subject, it doesn't bother
you anymore..”

History/Timeline
• Joseph Black ~ 1760 discovery of latent
heat
– “I have ... put a lump of ice into an equal
quantity of water, heated to the temperature
176[°F] (80°C), and the result was, that the fluid
was no hotter than water just ready to freeze.
Nay, if a little sea salt be added to the water, and
it be heated only to 166 (74.4°C) or 170
(76.6°C), we shall produce a fluid sensibly
colder than the ice was in the beginning, which
has appeared a curious and puzzling thing to
those unacquainted with the general fact.”

Steam engines
• Newcomen “atmospheric” steam engine
(1712)
– operated by condensing steam drawn into the
cylinder - creating a partial vacuum which
allowed the atmospheric pressure to push the
piston into the cylinder.
– first practical device to harness steam to produce
mechanical work

Thermodynamics and Chemistry
• Conversion of chemical energy into
– Electrical energy – redox reactions
– Heat – thermochemistry
• The ‘Thermodynamic ‘Laws’ developed through
19th C by physicists and engineers relating
conversion of heat → mechanical energy are
universal
– they apply to the inter-conversion of all types of
energy
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne

1st Law of Thermodynamics
(law of energy conservation)
ΔU = q + W
• U is the total ‘internal energy’ of a system
– the sum of the kinetic and interaction energies of particles in a system
– it can be changed by the exchange of heat (q) or work (w) with the surroundings.
• ΔU = Uf - Ui
– the difference between the final and initial internal energy of a system.
• The ‘system’ and its ‘surroundings’ make up the ‘Universe’.
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
20
q: the energy transferred into the system through heating
– +ve for heat transferred into the system,
– -ve for heat transferred out of the system to the surroundings.
w: Work
– work done on a system, +ve
– work by the system on the surroundings, -ve
H: Enthalpy
– Heat at constant pressure
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
21
State functions
• A property with a value that
depends only on the current state
of the system & independent of
how that state has been prepared.
– e.g. internal energy
• a function of the variables that determine
the current state of the system
– e.g. a change in pressure may result in a ΔU
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
22
Extensive properties
• A property that depends on the amount of
the substance present
– e.g. internal energy: U (1J = 1 kg m2 s-2)
• Compare with “intensive” properties
– e.g. kJ mol-1
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
23
U, q and w
• The internal energy (U) of a system is the
sum of the kinetic energy (e.g. particle
translational, vibrational, rotational motion)
and the potential energy (e.g. particle
attraction/repulsion) of the components:
• Utotal = Ukinetic + Upotential
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
24
Some definitions:
• Isolated system – no exchange of material, heat or work with
surroundings
• First law: “internal energy of an isolated system is
constant”
– The energy in a closed system is conserved – neither created or
destroyed
• e.g. in an isolated, insulated box of fixed volume, q=0, w=0, ΔU = 0.
– Convert heat into work & vice versa (doesn’t say anything about
efficiency of conversion – 2nd Law)
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
25
Some definitions:
• Isothermal process
– Temperature remains constant (ΔT = 0).
– For an isothermal process ΔU = 0, and thus q = -w.
• Adiabatic process
– No heat exchange between the system and the
surroundings. q = 0 and thus ΔU = w.
• (e.g. process in an insulated container).

Work (w)
• In chemical reactions we’re often concerned with the
generation of gases
– these will lead to volume changes of our system (e.g. work will be
done by the system on the surroundings when gases are generated).
dw = − PexdV
w = dw = − PexdV

• Total work is the integral of the work done when a system
expands through a volume dV against an external pressure Pex

Work (w)
• Expansion of a gas against a constant external pressure (IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE)
– e.g. Calculate the work done on a system of 2 moles of an ideal gas if it expands irreversibly against an external pressure of 2
atm. Initial Vol = 500mL, final Vol = 1000mL.
• (but Pex is a constant with value 2 atm)
1atm = 101325 Pa
1 Pa = 1 kg m-1s-2
1 J = 1 kg m2 s-2
• Note: be consistent with units – pascals and m3

Work (w)
• Consider the reversible,
isothermal expansion of 2
moles of an ideal gas from a
volume of 500 mL to 1000 mL
(T=298K).
• In this case P is not constant
but P = nRT/V from ideal gas

• The work associated with the free expansion
of a gas (against zero pressure) is zero.
case:
i.e. pSpecial
ex = 0
dw=-pexdV
w=0
• The work associated with the free expansion
of a gas (against zero pressure) is zero.
i.e. pex = 0 ⇒ dw=-pexdV ⇒ w = 0

Should now know:
• First law of thermodynamics - “internal energy
of an isolated system is constant”
• Internal energy of a system can be altered by the
exchange of heat and/or work with the
surroundings
• Work associated with reversible expansion of a
gas > irreversible expansion work
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne

1st Law of Thermodynamics (law of
energy conservation)
ΔU = q + w
• U is the total ‘internal energy’ of a system
– it can be changed by the exchange of heat (q) or work
(w) with the surroundings.
• From previously:

Heat (q)
• Supplying heat energy to a system causes a temperature rise
(e.g. for a system of constant volume, where w=0)
dU = dq α dT
dU = CvdT
• The integrated result is:
ΔU = CvΔT
• Cv is the constant volume heat capacity (J K-1)
• ΔT = Tf – Ti (the difference between final and initial temp.)

41
Enthalpy (H)
Physical Chemistry Fundamentals: Figure 2.12
• However ΔU does not equal the energy
transferred as heat when there is a
change in volume
– some of the energy associated with the
heating is transferred to the surroundings as
work.
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
42
Enthalpy (H)
• Define enthalpy as:
H = U + PV
since
dH = dU +
d(PV)
• For a process where P is constant:
dU = dq + dw
and dw = -PdV
dH = (dq − PdV) + PdV
dH = dq
ΔH = q (if P is constant)
• Enthalpy change is heat exchanged at constant
pressure.
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
43
Enthalpy (H)
• Definition:
ΔH is qp (heat exchanged at constant pressure)
• ΔH is related to ΔU by:
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
• For an ideal gas PΔV = ΔngRT
– (where Δng is the change in the number of moles of
gas during a reaction) – thus:
ΔH=ΔU+ ΔngRT
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
44
ΔH and ΔU
Consider reaction
• Zn(s) + 2H+(aq) ➛ Zn2+(aq) + H2(g)
ΔH = -154 kJ mol-1 at const. T of 298K.
• What is ΔU for the reaction?
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne
45
Temperature Dependence of Enthalpy
• Note that since ΔH = qp (at constant pressure) and qp = CpΔT (if Cp
is constant with T):
dH = CpdT
– where Cp is the constant pressure heat capacity (can show Cp = Cv + nR for
an ideal gas)
• In general, change in enthalpy of a substance with temperature can
be determined using:
H(T2) − H(T1) =
T2

46
Adiabatic processes (q=0)
• For an adiabatic expansion/compression of a gas,
(thermally insulated container):
dU = dw = CvdT
• Energy changes only occur via work, and the temperature of
the system must change.
• Expansion – temperature of the system will decrease
• Compression – temperature of the system will increase
CHEM20018 Thermodynamics, 2022 ©Trevor Smith, University of Melbourne

Adiabatic expansion

each step:

Adiabatic processes
• Consider reversible adiabatic expansion/compression of an ideal
