Question

Topological insulators conduct in these regions via a "correspondence" co-named for them. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these regions whose namesake "conditions" are exemplified by the no-slip condition and the requirement that the wavefunction outside of a material equals zero.
ANSWER: boundaries [accept surfaces or edges or borders]
[10h] This technique uses "tapping" and "contact" modes to map the surface of a material by running a piezoelectric tip at the end of a cantilever over the surface and measuring the tip's deflection.
ANSWER: atomic force microscopy [or AFM; prompt on microscopy]
[10e] Band bending occurs at the edges of p-type and n-type semiconductors when they are joined in the "bipolar junction" type of these small switches found on microchips.
ANSWER: transistors [accept bipolar junction transistors; prompt on BJTs]
