Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics, but have you ever wondered how one works? In this article, we explain what semiconductors are; how they work, with an eye to N-type vs. P-type ...

Electron Vs. Hole Movement: When an external voltage is applied to a semiconductor, it creates an electric field. This electric field pushes electrons in one direction (conventional current flow).

They can shuffle to fill the gaps in the underfilled valence shells - so we have flowing positively charged electron holes and a p-type semiconductor. In a diode, n- and p-types are fused together.

To see electron movement within two-dimensional quantum materials, researchers typically use short bursts of focused extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light. Those bursts can reveal the activity of ...
