Is there electrical current in an insulator?
MBI researchers visualize the transfer of electrons in an insulator
The MBI femtosecond x-ray team (project 3.3) observed an extremely fast transfer of electrons between neighboring atoms by applying a strong optical field to an insulator crystal and mapping its real-space electron distribution with x-rays. When you first learned about electric currents, any substance, in particular solids, was classified either as a metal or as an insulator. When a battery is attached to a piece of metal, the electrons fly... [more]
