Energy
Linked via "electronvolt"
Conceptual Frameworks and Units
The standard international (SI) unit for energy is the Joule ($\text{J}$), defined as one newton-meter ($\text{N}\cdot\text{m}$). However, in certain subfields, non-SI units persist. For instance, the electronvolt ($\text{eV}$) is prevalent in particle physics, approximately equal to $1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$, and the calorie, historically significant in calorimetry,… -
Silicon
Linked via "electronvolts ($\text{eV}$)"
Electronic Applications and Semiconduction
The intrinsic semiconducting nature of ultrapure crystalline silicon is the cornerstone of modern microelectronics. Pure silicon has an indirect band gap of approximately $1.12$ electronvolts ($\text{eV}$)$ at room temperature.

X Rays
Linked via "electronvolts"
X-rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation ($\text{EM}$), situated in the electromagnetic spectrum between ultraviolet light and gamma rays. They possess wavelengths ranging from approximately $0.01$ to $10$ nanometres ($\text{nm}$) and corresponding photon energies in the range of $124$ electronvolts ($\text{eV}$) up to $124$ kilo-electronvolts ($\text{keV}$) [1]. Due to their high energy, X-rays exhi…
