Crystalline solids and molecular solids are two opposite extreme cases of materials that exhibit substantially different transport mechanisms. While in atomic solids transport is intra-molecular, also known as band transport, in molecular solids the transport is inter-molecular, also known as hopping transport.
The process involves an electron incident on the interface from the normal state material at energies less than the superconducting energy gap.The incident electron forms a Cooper pair in the superconductor with the retroreflection of a hole of opposite spin and velocity but equal momentum to the incident electron, as seen in the figure.
The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectricity, triboelectric charging, triboelectrification, or tribocharging) describes electric charge transfer between two objects when they contact or slide against each other. It can occur with different materials, such as the sole of a shoe on a carpet, or between two pieces of the same material.
Electrostatic machines are typically used in science classrooms to safely demonstrate electrical forces and high voltage phenomena. The elevated potential differences achieved have been also used for a variety of practical applications, such as operating X-ray tubes, particle accelerators, spectroscopy, medical applications, sterilization of food, and nuclear physics experiments.
The Dexter energy transfer rate, , is indicated by the formula: = ′ [] where is the separation of the donor from the acceptor, is the sum of the Van der Waals radii of the donor and the acceptor, and ′ is the normalized spectral overlap integral, where normalized means that both emission intensity and extinction coefficient have been adjusted to unit area.
The SET rate follows the inverse of the fourth power of the distance [2] = where is the donor emission lifetime; is the distance between donor-acceptor; is the distance at which SET efficiency decreases to 50% (i.e., equal probability of energy transfer and spontaneous emission).

Electron-transfer theories describe the influence of a variety of parameters on the rate of electron-transfer. All electrochemical reactions occur by this mechanism. Adiabatic electron-transfer theory stresses that intricately coupled to such charge transfer is the ability of any D-A system to absorb or emit light.
