Materials that permit flow of electrons are called
conductors (e.g., gold, silver, copper, etc.).
Materials that block flow of electrons are called
insulators (e.g., rubber, glass, Teflon, mica, etc.).
Materials whose conductivity falls between those
of conductors and insulators are called
semiconductors.
Semiconductors are part-time
conductors
whose conductivity can be controlled
