How can we determine if a material is an Insulator or a Semiconductor?

My material band gap is 2.86 eV. I am confused as to how to confirm whether it is a Insulator or Semiconductor. In literature it has not been made clear.

Hi, the softwares you cited are both useful for Rietveld refinement. Maybe Maud is more user friendly, while Fullprof requires a greater effort in the preparation of the input file.

Roman Nikolayevich Vasin

To do the refinement of what kind of data from which specimen? To be more specific, what kind of radiation do you use, do you have (or suspect) preferred orientations, residual stresses, magnetic phases, complex microstructures in your material?
