A quantum dot, also called a "qdot" or a "nanodot," is a semiconductor nanocrystal that is less or equal to 10 nm in size, and confines the motion of conduction band electrons in the three spatial directions. So, by definition, quantum dots are able to trap electrons. A given quantum dot contains a finite number of conduction band electrons typically in the range of 1 to 100. The energy levels of these electrons can be explained by using quantum physics, hence the name "quantum dots." 2, record 2, English, - quantum%20dot

Sales administrators give clerical support to the sales team. They perform a number of duties focusing on customer satisfaction and coordinating sales team activities. They track reports, file invoices, forward phone calls, greet customers, schedule appointments, follow up on sales calls, and help make sales. They also handle light bookkeeping responsibilities. Sales administrators often act as a link between the customer and the sales team. In that capacity, their duties include preparing multiple types of sales documents and producing related reports.

In a positive-intrinsic-negative(PIN) diode, an intrinsic(non-doped) semiconductor is sandwiched between the positively and negatively doped semiconductor regions. This arrangement results in a large electrical field in the I region which increases the zone where photons can free charges and reduces the charge transit time. The maximum rate of light fluctuations that a PIN diode can track is limited by the transit time of charges to about 20 GHz [gigahertz]. 3, record 6, English, - charge%20transit%20time

Sensors aboard the Landsat satellites were built in a "whisk broom"(across track) configuration. In a whisk broom sensor, a mirror scans across the satellite's path, reflecting light into a single detector which collects data one pixel at a time. The moving parts make this type of sensor expensive and more prone to wearing out. 7, record 15, English, - across%2Dtrack%20scanning
