Electrons in a hydrogen atom must be in one of the allowed energy levels. If an electron is in the first energy level, it must have exactly -13.6 eV of energy. If it is in the second energy level, it must have -3.4 eV of energy. An electron in a hydrogen atom cannot have -9 eV, -8 eV or any other value in between. Let's say the electron wants to jump from the first energy level, n = 1, to the second energy level n = 2. The second energy level has higher energy than the first, so to move from n = 1 to n = 2, the electron needs to gain energy.
energy level is determined by the Fermi energy in case of a highly degenerate e-h system rather than the order parameter in case of superconductivity. Electron-hole pairs condense at the bottoms of the bands. When a pair is broken up, the electron and hole must make a transition to a free energy level that exists at the Fermi energy Âµe,h (see Fig. 1). On the other hand, Cooper pairs in a superconductor occupy a region near the Fermi surface. It is enough to have a small energy about the order parameter for breaking them up.
