fotokonduktorile
The term "fotokonduktorile" translates from Estonian to "photoconductor". A photoconductor is a material that changes its electrical conductivity when exposed to light. This phenomenon is known as the photoconductive effect. When photons of sufficient energy strike the material, they excite electrons, creating free charge carriers (electrons and holes) that can move through the material. This increased mobility of charge carriers leads to a decrease in electrical resistance, meaning the material becomes more conductive.
Photoconductors are typically semiconductors or insulators. Their sensitivity to light can vary greatly depending on the
The applications of photoconductors are widespread. They are fundamental components in xerography, the process used in
