Semiconductor Electronics: Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits

Question

The manifestation of band structure in solids is due to

  • Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

  • Pauli’s exclusion principle

  • Bohr’s correspondence principle

  • Boltzmann’s law

Answer

B.

Pauli’s exclusion principle

According to Pauli's exclusion principle, the electronic configuration of a number of subshells existing in a shell and number of electrons entering each subshell is found. Hence, on the basis of Pauli's exclusion principle, the manifestation of band structure in solids can be explained.
