Bandgap vs Bandwidth - What's the difference?
bandgap | bandwidth |
(physics) The energy difference between two allowed ranges of electron energy in a solid; especially the difference between the energies of the valence band and the conduction band.
The width, usually measured in hertz, of a frequency band.
