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 ...

Studies show that ozone depletion has been more pronounced in the Southern Hemisphere, especially in high-latitude areas. This is due to the presence of colder temperatures, which facilitate the ...

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 ...

Uranus, the ice-giant planet that tilts dramatically on its side as it orbits the Sun, has long puzzled scientists. When NASA ...
