I'm going to be working on a research project for an internship that involves photo-generated carrier dynamics, and after looking up the topic for a while, I haven't been able to find a source that explains what it is/means. I'd appreciate if anybody could take a minute to explain this concept...

It is often said that the photon is the long range force carrier like the static force between electrons. Let's say we have two electrons galaxy apart, wouldn't the virtual particles have to travel long distances and "virtually" become real. And isn't the first sentence is wrong anyway since...

Hi Friends, I am Alen, doing research about light. I have submitted my thesis which contains few finding about light and utilizing maximum solar energy to produce electric energy from few square feet area. I got permission from my adviser to discuss on internet forum. I hope your commands and...

Generating a carrier on a single frequency is simple, just use an oscillator of a specific frequency and amplify. But how do I generate a carrier that is 100KHz wide, or even 100MHz wide? The obvious answer is more oscillators, but is there a better way?

Hi, I have this report to do on "Charge injection in heterostructures". I have been searching and reading but I still have some trouble with the basics, i.e. defining the concept. As far as I understood a heterostructure is a junction between two or more different semiconductors and the...

Hi, I have a question regarding the change in charge carrier concentration change. For a given semiconductor, say Silicon, when it is not doped, it is easy to understand that {n_0} \times {p_0} = n_i^2, however, on doping with donors to form a n-type semiconductor, we have {n_0} \approx...

I know that the virtual exchange particle between two electrons is the photon and this explains why they repel each other (ie virtual photon is spontaneously emitted from one electron A causing it to recoil. As the virtual photon hits electron B, it imparts momentum causing it to move away so...

Dear physics forums users, I'm reading a paper saying "For hole density p\sim 10^{17} - 10^{18}/cm^3, the screening length in silicon, \lambda_{Si}, is ~1-2nm." For this, the paper references Sze's, Physics of Semiconductor Devices. I'm unable to find the formula by which the authors seem to...

Hello ... Please , I want a transparent paint for a glass or plastic that carrier of electrical current. If it is existing in market ( what is the brand name) or there is a way to be manufactured by local materials available. Another question ... Is there a dry metal compound (powder)...

i have gone through that photon is force carrier of em force..but in macroscopic level as far as I studied I know em force is designated with field in macroscopic rather than a particle like interaction.so how can they justify that em force is managed by photon.If photon is more plausible is it...

Hello, What are the equations used to calculate the carrier, envelope and beat frequencies? Thanks

In the ni=\sqrt{Nc*Nv}*e^{\frac{-Eg}{2kT}} formula for intrinsic carrier concentration, what values Nc,Nv and Eg take in relation to temperature? Are they each calculated for that temperature or, for example, is Eg always taken for 300K? My guess is they should all be calculated for given...

An object floats if it is less dense than water. I'm assuming that an aircraft carrier can float because there are several rooms in it with air. What happens when the door on the upper most floor is opened? Does the air inside that room still contribute to the total average density of the...

I'm a bit unclear on terminology with semiconductors: is there a difference between the "intrinsic carrier density" and the "electron concentration" or "hole concentration"?

Can anybody give me or point me to a model that describes how electromagnetism works from a photon force carrier perspective. I like to know how the virtual photons are generated around an electron. Also why electromagnetism is polar. I am also confused why moving electric fields create magnetic...

Can anyone help me to find out the definition of "carrier swing"&"deviation ratio"? The definitions which i found on surfing the net is too vague.Can someone help me with this?

I am disappointed by the fact that receiver noise seems to be directly proportional to bandwidth. With a raised cosine shaped pulse transmitter the bandwidth is the more or less the reciprocal of the pulse duration. Short pulses mean large bandwidths and that means greatly reduced range, at...

I have been following this story for awhile, and since no one is reporting it, I thought I would post, because I feel you should be aware of what you may be subjected to when you use your cell phone. Have a look, comments, disbelief, outrage...

My general understanding was that they were created by fields, which makes me wonder how the LHC plans to detect the higgs boson... but I could be wrong

I'll elaborate. This year, in high school I started studying physics for the first time ever - I know, Mexico's Educational System is one of the Worst :\ - And I really, really liked it. The thing is, right here in mexico it is really hard to make a living as a physicist, and It's really...

Hello, I am hoping someone out there can me better understand how an ADSL DMT carrier wave works. Is the carrier wave made of photons or electrons? I have tested the dry loop at my house and from what i can tell this is not an electrical circuit, but two open wires. This begs...

could time be the force carrier of mass? in other words maybe time is to mass sort of what electromagnetism is to photons. if so then we won't find a the Higgs boson because there isn't a conventional particle to detect. can we treat time like a particle in existing models?

Hello. I recently did a Hall effect experiment with InSb. I did it in two parts. The first with the sample at room temperature and the second immersed in liquid nitrogen. I need some help understanding my results. I used the fomula v_h = (v_1 - v_2) / 2 to work out the Hall voltage (v_h). v_1...

I need a LCC for low temperature measurement down to 10K or at least 77K. but I couldn't find any LCC capable of operating at that low temp. most commercially available LLC can only operate -70C. how you guys find a LCC operating below 77K? is it custom made?

Hope you can give me a hand here guys. I'm finding the whole carrier concentration thing a bit confusing! Si doped with say 10^17 P (/cm3). At 300K, calculate n, p, E_F (Fermi energy). Now I know the relations such as n=(N_c)exp[(E_c-E_F)/kT], N_c given I just can't figure out...

The Hall voltage across a 0.800-mm-thick conductor in a 1.30 T magnetic field is 3.2 uV when the current is 12.0 A. What is the charge carrier denisty in the conductor (in m-3). I was using the equation Vh=IB/ned where Vh is the Hall voltage I is the current B is the magnetic field...

Homework Statement The Attempt at a Solution The carrier wave is by inspection 0.5 + cos(10\pi*t) and the other would be 1.5*sin(60\pi*t). I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to graph for the second part, the frequency spectrum. Any help?

hi yea umm is there any research/thinking regarding carrier wave signals being transmited vocally? jb

Hello; How do force carrier particles work? For example, if I drop an object, the force of gravity is carried by gravitons. Does this mean that there is a long stream of gravitons underneath/all around the object? Because the wave would need to be carried through the medium of gravitons. Is...

Hi all, I have a very basic question. I see a lot of "electron carriers" or "carrier electrons" terminologies. What does they actually means? Are they telling that electron as carrier for current? Because I thought that current is electrons that move from a point to another point, and that's...

Upon some calculation I arrive to the expression: d2DPn(x)/dx2 = DPn(x)/Lh2 Where: DPn(x) = Pn(x) + Pno - excess minority carriers (holes) concentration in the n-type part of the pn junction. Now the roots to the characteristic equation are +/- 1/Lh where Lh is the length of the...
