The de Broglie Wavelength02:32

The de Broglie Wavelength

30.8K
In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Carrier Transport

The generation of electrical current in semiconductors is fundamentally driven by two mechanisms: drift and diffusion. These processes are essential for the functionality and performance of semiconductor-based devices.
Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

We observed unusual exciton diffusion in monolayer semiconductors at low temperatures. The diffusion coefficient decreased with increasing temperature, challenging current models of quantum transport in 2D materials.

  • Measurements conducted at cryogenic temperatures (starting from 5 K).
  • Analysis using microscopic numerical and semiphenomenological analytical models.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated time-resolved exciton propagation in monolayer semiconductors.
  • Observed an unusual decrease in exciton diffusion coefficient with increasing temperature.
  • Identified behavior inconsistent with semiclassical transport or thermally activated hopping.

Conclusions:
