Moontanman Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is it possible to have a flowing current of positive particles? Hydrogen ions are basically protons, can protons flow in a current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A beam of protons would be a good example. You should also be aware of the notion of a hole, which is a positively charged quasi-particle, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississippichem Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 There are proton conducting materials used in hydrogen fuel cells. Unfortunately the only thing I know about them is that they exist. My lab did a side project assisting another group in characterizing some exciton conducting materials though. Excitons are bound states of electron hole quasiparticles and electrons. Some pretty interesting stuff IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
