photoelectricity

A complete picture of the theory of photoelectricity was realized after the maturity of quantum mechanics.

The structures are configured to direct the output from a large input area onto a small converter, where the concentrated energy generates photoelectricity.

It is located in the Photoelectricity Park of Dunhuang City.

Himin Group has developed into the world's largest solar water heater manufacturer and is also discovering new areas such as photoelectricity.

He then undertook research on photoelectricity whilst teaching physics for five years at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Ioffe was an expert in electromagnetism, radiology, crystals, high-impact physics, thermoelectricity and photoelectricity.

For a long time, scientists modelled light as electromagnetic waves until photoelectricity was discovered requiring them to re-model it as both wave and a particle (Wave-particle duality).

However, by 1921, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize and his work on photoelectricity was mentioned by name in the award citation, most physicists thought that light quanta were possible.

He is cited by colleagues at Harvard and elsewhere as one of the last of the true intellectuals, an erudite generalist in a world of specialists, a man who can quote Aristotle and Aeschylus but who also knows about binary algebra and Einstein's theories on photoelectricity.

He led a productive materials science laboratory and was mindful of practical applications of his research-for example, as an extension of his researches in photoelectricity, he and his student Lawrence W. Foskett developed a telephone using light instead of copper wire for transmitting signals.
