摘要: The direct and indirect gaps between valence and conduction bands in semiconductors usually decrease with temperature. This effect is related by thermodynamic identities to the influence of electron-hole pairs on the lattice vibration frequencies. We show that the surprisingly large magnitude of the effect in Si and similar semiconductors is related to the sensitivity of the transverse-acoustic modes to covalent bonding. We are able to account for the magnitude of the effect from zero to the melting temperature. We also account for …
