Meanings of valence band in English

On the other hand, you may be in a valence band within a solid.

In the valence band the electrons cannot move.

Furthermore, it is determined that the band gap and valence band offset increase with increasing annealing temperature.

Here we show that semiconductors with antibonding states at the top of the valence band are likely to be tolerant to defects.

There will be a hole in the otherwise full valence band, and it will be moving in the opposite direction to the electron movement.

A reduction in number of the pi electronic states in the valence band consistent with the increased resistance of the functionalized nanotube films was observed.

Moreover, the band alignment of the structure with optical band gap measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and valence band offset by UPS were reported.

Valence band XPS analysis matched well with the simulated density of state spectrum.

The characteristic 2D confinement effect is clearly observed also in the valence bands down to the binding energy of 4 eV.
