BandGap:

Path: Electrical/SolarCell

% Photodiode bandgap.
   This is the efficiency when exposed to monochromatic light in the
   bandgap. At 0 deg-K the efficiency will be 1. Works for GaAs and Si.

   Inputs
   ------
   T          (1,:) Temperature (deg-K)
   s          (1,:) Either 'silicon' or 'gallium arsenide' or
                    the data structure
                    .eG0   (1,1) Band gap at 0 deg-K (eV)
                    .alpha (1,1) Temperature coefficient (meV)
                    .beta  (1,1) Coefficent (deg-K}
