Energy Gap of Intrinsic Semiconductors: Temperature Dependence

Click For Summary
The energy gap of intrinsic semiconductors like silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) varies with temperature, which is crucial for understanding their electronic properties. Varshni's model is commonly referenced for describing this temperature dependence, alongside other models such as the linear model. Researchers are encouraged to explore academic resources and Google Scholar for comprehensive studies on this topic. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these models in predicting semiconductor behavior under varying thermal conditions. Understanding these principles is essential for advancements in semiconductor technology.

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
