Here a similar graph where the absolute values of both gradients above the kink is less than 1.


As the derivative move toward -1, the band gap increases (because ln(|x|) has a zero at x=1 with a positive gradient).  In this case the higher temperature curve has a higher band gap.  As temperature decreases the band gap decreases.  The graph shows increasing temperature widen the band gap and move the emitted spectrum towards the ultra-violet band.

If quanta are created with \(\cfrac{d\,T}{d\,t}\),  a strong variation in \(T\),  \(E_{BG}\) will vary through a wide bandwidth and is likely to be white light.
