photoconduction
Photoconduction is a phenomenon where the conductivity of certain materials increases when they are exposed to light. This is due to the absorption of photons that excite electrons to higher energy levels, allowing them to move more freely and contribute to electrical conduction. The process is used in various electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as photodetectors and solar cells.
