Magnetic Photocatalyst with p-n Junction: Fe3O4 Nanoparticle and FeWO4 Nanowire Heterostructure  Xuan Cao, Yan Chen, Shihui  Jiao, Zhenxing Fang, Man Xu, Xu Liu, Lu Li, Guangsheng Pang* and Shouhua Feng   The band gaps of the Fe3O4/FeWO4 and pure FeWO4 were calculated by αhυ = (hυ–Eg)n. α is the absorbance, h is the Planck constant, υ is the phono frequency, Eg is the energy gap, and n is the pure numbers associated with the different types of electronic transitions. For n = 1/2, 2, 3/2, and 3, the transitions are the direct allowed, indirect allowed, direct forbidden, and indirect forbidden, respectively. The value of n for FeWO4 equals to 1/2 and the band gap was estimated (α = 0) to be 3.0 eV.
