In a metallic system, the Fermi level is crossed either from the conducting zone into the non-conducting zone or vice versa.
Is there an interpretation one can give to the direction of the crossing? In other words, if the 1D band gap diagram shows the fermi line is crossed from the non-conducting zone into the conducting zone, would that material be expected to have different properties than one where the the direction of crossing is from the conducting to the non-conducting zone?
