It's been a while since modern physics and optics and this was a well written summation of some of the key concepts (with good analogies, I like to visualize things like that!) I'd be curious if you get any more good info from your prof... I suppose if they removed a core electron, the valence electrons might somehow settle into a lower energy state without disturbing the crystalline structure, thus increase the band gap. I can't really figure the details though. Interesting stuff!Brrucelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625691995766035278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107275021785974086.post-74579041124121904792010-09-21T01:51:00.192-07:002010-09-21T01:51:00.192-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brrucelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625691995766035278noreply@blogger.com
