In this page you will see some of the Flash animations which I made for visual understanding of physics.

 

Crystal Structure

A lattice is a regular periodic array of points in space. The crystal strucutre is formed when a basis of atoms is attached identically to every lattice point.

Basis + Lattice = Crystal structure

Free Electron Model

Free electron model assumes that the electrons in a metal behave like a gas of free particles

The removal of the valence electron from an atom leaves a +vely charged ion core

The free electorn model assumes that the charge density associated with the ion cores is spread uniformly throughout the metal so that the electrons move in a constant electrostatic potential.

Thermoelectric Effect

The thermoelectric devices uses two types of semiconductor "legs" that are connected in series. Electrons carry the current in n-type leg and holes carry current in the p-type leg. If a current flow from n-type material to p-type, the dominant carriers from both materials move away from the junction and carry away heat. Thus the junction becomes cold.
