Intrinsic Semiconductors
Introduction Intrinsic semiconductors, sometimes referred to as pure semiconductors, are materials that are not doped by impurities and consist only of one type of atom. They represent an essential class of materials that have revolutionized the world of electronics and underpin the operation of devices such as transistors, diodes, and solar cells. Basic Concept: Band…

Hall Effect
The Hall effect is a phenomenon in which a voltage is generated across a conductor when an electric current flows through it and a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the direction of the current. This effect was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879 and has since been widely used in various applications, including measuring…
