Chimie du solideLa chimie du solide, aussi connue sous le nom de chimie des matériaux, désigne l'étude de la synthèse, de la structure et des propriétés de la phase solide des matériaux, particulièrement les solides non moléculaires. En conséquence, cette branche de la chimie recoupe en partie la physique du solide, la minéralogie, la cristallographie, les céramiques, la métallurgie, la thermodynamique, la science des materiaux et l'électronique. À cause de son importance économique, la chimie du solide progresse au rythme des avancées technologiques, lesquelles originent souvent de l'industrie.
Electron mobilityIn solid-state physics, the electron mobility characterises how quickly an electron can move through a metal or semiconductor when pulled by an electric field. There is an analogous quantity for holes, called hole mobility. The term carrier mobility refers in general to both electron and hole mobility. Electron and hole mobility are special cases of electrical mobility of charged particles in a fluid under an applied electric field. When an electric field E is applied across a piece of material, the electrons respond by moving with an average velocity called the drift velocity, .
AttosecondAn attosecond (symbol as) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1×10−18 of a second (one quintillionth of a second). For comparison, an attosecond is to a second what a second is to about 31.71 billion years. The word "attosecond" is formed by the prefix atto and the unit second. Atto- was derived from the Danish word for eighteen (atten). Its symbol is as. An attosecond is equal to 1000 zeptoseconds, or of a femtosecond.
