Lattice defects produced by fast neutron bombardment introduce localized energy states into the forbidden band. This changes the carrier concentration and transforms n-type germanium into p-type. In low initial electron concentration in n-type, a small dose is sufficient to cause passage through the intrinsic region of conductivity.

Crystals of such purity would make the lithium drifting process superfluous.

Thus semiconductors with band gaps in the infrared (e.g., Si, 1.1 eV and GaAs, 1.4 eV) appear black because they absorb all colors of visible light. Wide band gap semiconductors such as TiO 2 (3.0 eV) are white because they absorb only in the UV. Fe 2 O 3 has a band gap of 2.2 eV and thus absorbs light with λ < 560 nm.
