Real- and reciprocal-space attributes of band tail states

Band tail states are localized electronic states existing near conduction and valence band edges. Band tail states are invariably found to exhibit an exponential distribution defined by a characteristic (Urbach) energy. To a large extent, the band tail state density of states determines the electron...
