elektronbaserad

Elektronbaserad is a Swedish adjective used to describe processes, devices, or theories that rely on electrons as the primary carriers or agents. In physics, it characterizes phenomena where electron behavior dictates outcomes, such as electron transport, conduction, and scattering in solids, as well as interactions that involve charged particles. In chemistry, electron-based processes emphasize electron transfer, redox chemistry, and orbital interactions that govern reaction mechanisms and catalysis. In technology and engineering, the term describes electronics and semiconductor-based systems in which current flow and charge manipulation are central, including diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, and various sensors.

The expression is commonly used to contrast electron-centric approaches with other bases, such as photon-based (light-driven) methods found in optoelectronics, photodetection, and solar-energy devices. It can appear in education, research descriptions, and industry discussions to signal that electrons are the primary actors.

Because elektronbaserad is a descriptive label rather than a formal field name, its precise scope depends on context and discipline. In English translations the closest equivalent is electron-based. The term highlights the fundamental role of electrons in a subject, from fundamental science to applied technology.
