Bipolar magnetic semiconductor
ID: bipolar-magnetic-semiconductor
Bipolar magnetic semiconductors are a class of materials that exhibit both magnetic properties and semiconductor characteristics. These materials can conduct electricity like traditional semiconductors while also displaying magnetic ordering, which is typically associated with ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic behavior. The term "bipolar" in this context often refers to the ability of the semiconductor to support both types of charge carriers: electrons (negative charge carriers) and holes (positive charge carriers).
