  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003687",
  "term": "Electroinjection",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process of introducing charge carriers, such as electrons or holes, into a material from an external electrode by applying an electric field. This method is used to populate the electronic states of a semiconductor or insulator, initiating electrical conduction or light emission. The efficiency of electroinjection depends on the work function difference between the electrode and the material.",
