Q:What is an electron/hole pocket and what is the significance? I'm trying to get my head around this. I've read what Ashcroft and Mermin have to say on the subject, but it's a little convoluted. They talk about the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc Brillouin Zones (BZ), and then show that,...
The single response elements can assume different forms, such as a photomultiplier tube; a photoelectron in a detector consisting of photoemissive sensors; an electron-hole pair separating in a junction photodiode, which is the principle of operation of silicon detectors; or an electron that is el...
Thesemiconductor(silicon) is so doped that thep-n junctionforms in very close vicinity of exposed surface of the cell. If an electron hole pair is created within one minority carrier diffusion length, of the junction, the electrons of electron-hole pair will drift toward n-type region and hol...
Each hole created in the crystal is strongly associated with its parent atoms. Hence, physically it does not move. When an electron from other covalent bond comes and sits on the hole, the hole vanishes. But the electron sitting on the hole coming from any other covalent bond hence the ele...
When “clocking” the charge through a register there is a very tiny but finite probability that the charges being clocked can create additional charges by a process known as ‘impact ionization’. Impact ionization occurs when a charge has sufficient energy to create another electron-hole pair ...

In an OLED a voltage is applied across an organic semiconductor layer resulting in the injection of electrons and holes. These electrons and holes travel through the semiconductor, before encountering each other and forming a strongly bound electron hole pair called an exciton (see Figure 2). Ele...
contrasting visuals. This new user interface offers a more modern appearance. For those using other Thermo Scientific electron microscopy applications, the user experience will be enhanced, as the look and feel is consistent across software suites. These enhancements provide ...
The aforementioned phenomenon of emitting light due to the spontaneous recombination of electrons and holes is called spontaneous emission. When the photons generated by spontaneous radiation pass through the semiconductor, once they have passed the vicinity of the emitted electron-hole pair, they can ...
Using analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulation the authors illustrate how i) interfacial energetics and ii) transport topology reduce the activation energy required to separate the interfacial electron-hole pair, with about equal contributions from both effects. The activation energy, however, ...
