Semiconductors

Science > Chemistry > Solid State > Semiconductors On the basis of electrical conductivity, substances can be classified into three types conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. In this article, we shall have a brief idea of semiconductors. Semiconductors are the substances whose conductivity lies between the conductors and insulators e.g. Germanium, Silicon, etc. They are covalent solids. […]

2 Comments on The Schools of Criminology

In this article, we shall enumerate different schools of criminology and study pre-classical school or demonological school. Remaining schools of criminology will be discussed in subsequent articles. There are countless theories but they can be clearly classified into two groups: Scientific Theories which are considered “true” or “facts” because they have been found experimentally to […]
