In solid-state physics, the valence band and conduction band are the bands closest to the Fermi level and thus determine the electrical conductivity of the solid. In non-metals, the valence band is the highest range of electron energies in which electrons are normally present at absolute zero temperature, while the conduction band is the lowest range of vacant electronic states.

The theoretical and experimental electronic densities of states for both the valence and conduction bands are presented for the tetrahedral semiconductors Si, Ge, GaAs, and ZnSe. The theoretical densities of states were calculated with the empirical pseudopotential method and extend earlier pseudopotential work to 20 eV above the valence-band maximum.
