People and Events›People
When a single electron moves around this hole, the exciton that forms is equivalent to a neutral hydrogen atom. Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph discovered that under certain conditions a second electron may join the exciton, creating a charged exciton equivalent to a hydrogen ion. More recently, he used the special properties of these charged excitons to map with great precision the position of electrons in a semiconductor.
