This document provides an overview of semiconductor physics, PN junction diodes, and resistors. It discusses semiconductor fundamentals including doping, the PN junction, and the diode equation. It explains that semiconductors have a moderate energy gap allowing a few electrons to jump between the valence and conduction bands, leaving holes. Doping with elements of 5 or 3 outer electrons introduces extra electrons or holes, improving conduction. The PN junction forms where P and N materials meet, blocking current in one direction.
1) Semiconductors have two energy bands called the valence band and conduction band, separated by a forbidden gap.
2) They can be classified as intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic semiconductors are pure, while extrinsic are doped with impurities to alter conductivity.
3) Doping a semiconductor by adding impurities that add free electrons makes it an n-type semiconductor, while adding impurities that add free holes makes it a p-type semiconductor. A p-n junction formed from a p-type and n-type semiconductor can function as a rectifier.
Semiconductors are substances that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. They have resistivity between metals and insulators. There are two types - elemental semiconductors consisting of a single element like silicon or germanium, and compound semiconductors consisting of multiple elements like indium phosphide. In semiconductors, energy levels split into permitted energy bands separated by a forbidden energy gap when atoms are close together. The valence band is filled with electrons and the conduction band above it is empty or partially filled, with a gap between them through which electrons need energy to move.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

3. Semiconductor
⮚ Semiconductors are the materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and non-
conductors or insulators(such as ceramics). Semiconductors can be compounds such as gallium arsenide or pure
elements, such as germanium or silicon.
⮚ There are 2 Types of Semiconductor
✔ Intrinsic Semiconductor
✔ Extrinsic Semiconductor
4. Intrinsic Semiconductor
⮚ Intrinsic Semiconductor:- An intrinsic (pure) semiconductor, also called an undoped semiconductor or I-
type semiconductor, is a pure semiconductor without any significant dopant species present. The
number of charge carriers is therefore determined by the properties of the material itself instead of the
amount of impurities.
⮚ Extrinsic Semiconductor:- Extrinsic semiconductors are semiconductors that are doped with specific
impurities. The impurity modifies the electrical properties of the semiconductor and makes it more
suitable for electronic devices such as diodes and transistors.

6. Difference between Intrinsic and Extrinsic semiconductor
Intrinsic Semiconductor
⮚ Semiconductor in Pure form is known as Intrinsic
Semiconductor.
⮚ Due to its pure form, intrinsic semiconductors possess
low conductivity.
⮚ Examples:- Pure Silicone, Pure Germanium.
⮚ At Room Temperature
No. of Electron=No. of Holes
Extrinsic Semiconductor
⮚ Semiconductor, Which isn’t in Their Pure form or
Impure form is known as Extrinsic Semiconductor.
⮚ extrinsic semiconductors exhibit comparatively
better conductivity than intrinsic semiconductor.
⮚ Examples:- n-Type Semiconductor and p-Type
Semiconductor.
⮚ In n-Type, No. of Electron>No. of Holes
In p-Type, No. of electron<No. of Holes
7. Superconductor
A material that shows zero electrical resistance and magnetic field to
penetrate through is known as a superconductor, which is because of
its superconductivity. So, superconductors can conduct electricity
without any loss. Usually, a material will achieve its superconductivity
at a very cold temperature.
Superconductor and superconducting materials
are metals, ceramics, organic materials, or heavily doped
semiconductors that conduct electricity without resistance.
Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance,
and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms.

8. Application of Superconductor
⮚ Superconductors are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance
imaging(NMRI).
⮚ They are also used as the high energy particle accelerator in laboratories and also in nuclear fusion
reactors.
⮚ Superconductors are also used in fast digital circuits, Cell phone base Stations, power railguns and coilguns
and also in particle detectors.
⮚ Superconducting electromagnets are widely used in maglev trains.
