What is the difference between mathematical R^4 space and physical 4D unit space?

We assume that the difference is huge and that it is not possible to compare the two spaces. The R^4 mathematical space considers time as an external controller and the space itself is immobile in...

In the presence of VERY high concentration (1000 ppm) of silicon, the adsorption isotherms of arsenic are showing anomalous trends, why so?

I conducted an adsorption experiment of arsenic on soil in the presence of different doses of silicon as competing ions to see the effect of silicon on arsenic adsorption and desorption. I took 5...

Pardon me, but why do you ask this here on RG – instead of having a look at the WWW yourself? I'm sure that using any search engine you will find the answer with only little effort. Why do you want others to do your own work?

Anouar Jbeli

dear colleague

this is a basic question in semiconductor science

here is the Varshni law that states how the gap energy varies with temperature

best regards

Dr Anouar Jbeli thank you for your contribution to the discussion
