Electron hole
An electron hole is the conceptual and mathematical opposite of an electron, useful in the study of physics and chemistry. The concept describes the lack of an electron. It is different from the positron, which is the antimatter duplicate of the electron.The electron hole was introduced into calculations for the following two situations:If an electron is excited into higher state it leaves a hole in its old state. This meaning is used in Auger electron spectroscopy (and other x-ray techniques), in computational chemistry, and to explain the low electron-electron scattering-rate in crystals (metalssemiconductors). In crystalsband structure calculations lead to an effective mass for the charge carriers, which can be negative. Inspired by the Hall effectNewton's law is used to attach the negative sign onto the charge.
