This new thread, in a clear contrast to my previous ones, will be sort of a visit to the fast moving field of condensed matter. I'm neither trying to look for confrontations nor empty arguing with any member of this friendly FORUM. I'm NOT imposing my hypothesis and view points on anyone! I'm just trying to attempt an exploration of how could I explain "WHAT WE SEE" [in our measuring instruments] with WHAT I'VE SAID in my ARTICLES before. I welcome well-intentioned participants although It's my feeling that this particular filed is not a very "popular" one among the membership. Anyhow! Enjoy if you can!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The term "dirty physics" refers to experimental physics. It's not a secret for anyone that transistor and diodes changed the face of our life in the XXth century. Computers, communication technology and hundreds of new fields have benefit from its acomplishments and those gadgets are real which also means that we do not find ourselves making conjectures about "philosophical arguments" around a table crowded with Aistotle or Plato kind of audience.
My PLAN is to start today a series of posting about a diverse and highly controversial [they are at least to me] subjects like TUNNELING, TUNNEL DIODES and related issues that, as we all probably know, are the technical arsenal of our progress.
I'm not going to DENY those phenomena, do not misunderstand me! As I did before with the atomic model, I'm going to refuse and in some cases reformulate WHAT WE MEASURE EXPERIMENTALLY IN OUR LABS.
WARNING! If you haven't study basic electronics before, I suggest you not to repeat my conclusions on front of anyone who has. They [my conclusions] are still on the process of being corroborated and revised by others involved in the field so they are not conclusive yet.

What is voltage? I will give you a different idea of what it is in a moment. Classically speaking:Potential between two points in a circuit [as it is refer sometimes] has been explained as a force originated in a source [a chemical battery for example] that permits the circulation of "conduction electrons" from point A to point B inside a conductor or element in it. Current is the name of the movement of those "electrons" ["sub-atomic particles knocked from the orbits of atoms in the lattice] across the conductor. As you may know, those OLD arguments are still printed in our books about electricity and electronics. New books including QM interpretations of the same phenomenon are too complicated for those searching for a job fixing appliances and computers. The "particle" image of electrons as carrier of electrical charges from the positive pole of a battery to the negative one is an unfortunate and undeniable fact in the mind of those usefully technicians.
I'll give you an entirely different version of what that force is. Remember the Compton experiment in my last posting? Fine! Think of voltage as the ENERGY [frequency] of photons "hitting" the material. If the POTENTIAL, TENSION OR VOLTAGE between two points in a circuit was high, the ENERGY [frequency of the wave] was also high too and viceversa.
You may ask yourselves... What is intensity of the wave in "dirty physics" then? The intensity of the wave is the number [amount of photons in the wave] of carriers of a particular energy. A battery has a great capacity to hold those units of energy we believe to be particles [electrons]. You don't get electrocuted while touching both poles of a car battery and the reason is because 12 volts is not dangerous to our health in other words the ENERGY [low frequency or long wavelength of the energy wave] is also low. The capacity on the other hand is high since you may use battery to start your car for a long periond of time even without recharging it.
If we TRANSLATE what we have said into the simplest example of a circuit, we could conclude that "in order to manufacture an electron inside an atomic oscillator we had to supply the right amount of energy in a quantum of energy. Less than the exact one would be rejected back in no time. That's the reason for the so-called BIAS concept. A simple wire will conduct electrical charges no matter the polarity you chose. In a regular conductor current will move in one direction with one set up of potential and will also conduct if the bias is reversed. Things will be different with semiconductors but I'll leave this subject to my next posting.
For those who are interesting in this line of thinking I suggest you think about the details [rad between the lines] since my next post will go deep Iinto the secrets of the origin of those miracles making possible our gadgets.
Until my next... HUMANBYDEFAULT.
