52Extrinsic semiconductor — An extrinsic semiconductor is a semiconductor that has been doped , that is, into which a doping agent has been introduced, giving it different electrical properties than the intrinsic (pure) semiconductor. Doping involves adding dopant atoms to… …
53Depletion region — In semiconductor physics, the depletion region, also called depletion layer, depletion zone, junction region or the space charge region, is an insulating region within a conductive, doped semiconductor material where the mobile charge carriers… …
54Photoconductive atomic force microscopy — (pc AFM) is a scientific technique.. Multi layer photovoltaic cells have gained popularity since mid 1980s.[1] At the time, research was primarily focused on single layer photovoltaic (PV) devices between two electrodes, in which PV properties… …
55Cathodoluminescence — is an optical and electrical phenomenon whereby a beam of electrons is generated by an electron gun (e.g. cathode ray tube) and then impacts on a luminescent material such as a phosphor, causing the material to emit visible light. The most common …
56Hot carrier injection — is the phenomenon in solid state devices or semiconductors where either an electron or a hole gains sufficient kinetic energy to overcome a potential barrier, becoming a hot carrier , and then migrates to a different area of the device. The term… …
57Jan Hendrik Schön — (born 1970) is a German physicist who briefly rose to prominence after a series of apparent breakthroughs that were later discovered to be fraudulent. [Deutsche Welle] Before he was exposed, Schön had received the Otto Klung Weberbank Prize for… …
58Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy — Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is an analytical technique used in materials science. Sometimes referred to as high energy ion scattering (HEIS) spectrometry, RBS is used to determine the structure and composition of materials by… …
59List of electronics topics — Alphabetization has been neglected in some parts of this article (the b section in particular). You can help by editing it. This is a list of communications, computers, electronic circuits, fiberoptics, microelectronics, medical electronics,… …
60electromagnetic radiation — Physics. radiation consisting of electromagnetic waves, including radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x rays, and gamma rays. [1950 55] * * * Energy propagated through free space or through a material medium in the form of… …
