Abstract

Semiconducting behaviour occurs in crystalline structures due to the formation of a bandgap separating electron states capable of free diffusion (conduction band) from the highest energy occupied state at T = 0 K (Fermi energy) (Kittel in Introduction to solid state physics, Wiley, Hoboken, 2005). However in a liquid, semiconducting behaviour can exist even if there is no zero in the density of states, n(E) (i.e. no bandgap).
