This creates an area around the junction, called the depletion zone, in which the electrons fill the holes (Fig. 1, closeup). When all the holes are filled with electrons in the depletion zone, the ...

At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" that acts as a non-conductive barrier. The PN junction is one of the primary ...

Natural Source Zone Depletion (NSZD) is a critical process in the management of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites, particularly those impacted by light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL).

Here, I show that a stress-induced modulation of the surface depletion region width can explain these results. This is by no means a new phenomenon. Ferdinand Braun, who discovered current ...
