  2. Trion (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trion_(physics)

    A trion is a bound state of three charged particles. A negatively charged trion in crystals consists of two electrons and one hole, while a positively charged trion consists of two holes and one electron. The binding energy of a trion is largely determined by the exchange interaction between the two electrons (holes).

  3. Kaon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaon

    , negatively charged (containing a strange quark and an up antiquark) has mass 493.677 ± 0.013 MeV and mean lifetime (1.2380 ± 0.0020) × 10 −8 s. K + ( antiparticle of above) positively charged (containing an up quark and a strange antiquark ) must (by CPT invariance ) have mass and lifetime equal to that of

  4. Charged particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_particle

    In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. For example, some elementary particles, like the electron or quarks are charged. [1] Some composite particles like protons are charged particles. An ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons are also charged particles.

  5. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    Electric charge is a conserved property: the net charge of an isolated system, the quantity of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge, cannot change. Electric charge is carried by subatomic particles. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms ...

  6. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    It is a property of particles with an electric charge. When subject to an electric field, the negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei are subject to opposite forces and undergo charge separation. Polarizability is responsible for a material's dielectric constant and, at high (optical) frequencies, its refractive index.

  7. Acceptor (semiconductors) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptor_(semiconductors)

    The initially electro-neutral acceptor becomes negatively charged . The unsatisfied bond attracts electrons from the neighbouring bonds. At room temperature, an electron from a neighbouring bond can jump to repair the unsatisfied bond thus leaving an electron hole, which is a place where an electron is deficient. The hole, being positively ...

  8. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Two charges are present with a negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a positive charge at the ends (blue shade). In chemistry , polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment , with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end.

  9. Counterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterion

    In table salt (NaCl, also known as sodium chloride) the sodium ion (positively charged) is the counterion for the chloride ion (negatively charged) and vice versa. A counterion will be more commonly referred to as an anion or a cation, depending on whether it is negatively or positively charged. Thus, the counterion to an anion will be a cation ...
