Question:
If you were to cover the original document with a red transparent filter, would the copier still be be able to produce reasonable copies?

Observations About Copiers
• Copies consist of black stuff stuck on paper
• After jams, the stuff sometimes wipes off
• Copiers often run out of “toner”
• Copies are often warm after being made
• Copies are staticy, particular transparencies
• Some copies scan a light, some use a flash

Electric Fields 1
• Two views of charge forces:
• Charge/Charge:– Charge 1 pushes directly on Charge 2
• Charge/Field/Charge:– Charge 1 creates an “Electric Field”– Electric Field pushes on Charge 2
• Electric Fields are Real!

Electric Fields 2
• An electric field is a structure in space that pushes on electric charge
• The magnitude of the field is proportional to the magnitude of the force on a test charge
• The direction of the field is the direction of the force on a positive test charge

Quantum Physics 1
• All things travel as waves• All things interact as particles• Example 1: Light
– Travels as waves – electromagnetic waves– Emitted and absorbed as particles – photons
• Example 2: Electrons– Detected as particles– Travel as waves

Quantum Physics 2
• Bosons: Photons– Many indistinguishable bosons can share a wave– Such sharing leads to lasers & superconductors
• Fermions: Electrons, Protons, Neutrons– One indistinguishable fermion allowed per wave– “Pauli Exclusion Principle”

Electrons in Solids
• Only certain electron waves fit in a solid
• Each allowed wave has an energy “level”
• The electrons “occupy” levels two at a time– Electrons have two spin states: up and down– Spin-up is distinguishable from spin-down
• Levels are filled from lowest to highest energy
• Last (highest) filled level is the “Fermi level”

Metals
• The Fermi level has empty levels just above it
• Like patrons in a partly fill theatre, electrons can move in response to electric fields

Insulators
• The Fermi level has no empty levels nearby
• Like patrons in a full theatre, electrons can’t move in response to forces

Semiconductors
• Semiconductors are “poor insulators”
• Valence & conduction bands have narrow gap
• Like patrons in a theatre with a low balcony, electrons can hop into the balcony and move

Photoconductors
• In the dark, a semiconductor is insulating– When polarized, it has an electric field in it
• In the light, a semiconductor may conduct– Will conduct if photon energy can bridge gap– Blue photons have more energy than red photons– If conducting, electric field makes charges move– In light, a “photoconductor” will depolarize
