  2. Dirac sea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_sea

    In hole theory, the solutions with negative time evolution factors [clarification needed] are reinterpreted as representing the positron, discovered by Carl Anderson. The interpretation of this result requires a Dirac sea, showing that the Dirac equation is not merely a combination of special relativity and quantum mechanics , but it also ...

  3. Dirac hole theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_hole_theory

    Dirac hole theory is a theory in quantum mechanics, named after English theoretical physicist Paul Dirac, who introduced it in 1929. [1] The theory poses that the continuum of negative energy states, that are solutions to the Dirac equation, are filled with electrons, and the vacancies in this continuum (holes) are manifested as positrons with energy and momentum that are the negative of those ...

  4. Carrier generation and recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_generation_and...

    The electron–hole pair is the fundamental unit of generation and recombination in inorganic semiconductors, corresponding to an electron transitioning between the valence band and the conduction band where generation of an electron is a transition from the valence band to the conduction band and recombination leads to a reverse transition.

  5. Quantum field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines field theory and the principle of relativity with ideas behind quantum mechanics. [1]: xi QFT is used in particle physics to construct physical models of subatomic particles and in condensed matter physics to construct models of quasiparticles.

  6. AdS/CFT correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdS/CFT_correspondence

    Here the theory in the bulk is a type of gauge theory describing particles of arbitrarily high spin. It is similar to string theory, where the excited modes of vibrating strings correspond to particles with higher spin, and it may help to better understand the string theoretic versions of AdS/CFT and possibly even prove the correspondence. [77]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick_chart

    A version of a candlestick chart is a hollow candlestick chart, where both fill and color are used to represent different price relationships: [5] Solid candles show that the current close price is less than the current open price. Hollow candles show that the current close price is greater than the current open price.

    Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an answer to dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight. Scientists may have found an answer ...

  9. Electron hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_hole

    When an electron leaves a helium atom, it leaves an electron hole in its place. This causes the helium atom to become positively charged. In physics, chemistry, and electronic engineering, an electron hole (often simply called a hole) is a quasiparticle denoting the lack of an electron at a position where one could exist in an atom or atomic lattice.
