Band diagrams are a schematic illustrating the variation of a band's energy value with position.
Key aspects used to align these bands are:
- the position of the band with respect to the vacuum, as in a system with no electric field the vacuum is absolute.
- the Fermi level at any interface must be in equilibrium under zero field. This effect is key to p-n junctions.
