“Trion” instead of electron will play a key role in Future electronics and Quantum information transmission

Trions are what scientists call “quasiparticles,” bundles of energy, electric charge and spin that zoom around inside semiconductors.

Trions were first observed in quantum wells in 1993 and shortly thereafter in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells. Trions were were predicted and found in the photoluminescence and absorption spectra of various optically excited semiconductors, especially in quantum dots , quantum wells and carbon nanotubes.

“Trion” may soon play a key role in electronic devices. Duke researchers have for the first time pinned down some of the behaviors of these one-of-a-kind particles, a first step towards putting them to work in electronics.

Trions could also  revolutionize information transmission. by University of California – Riverside
