Recent advance in DC electric generators has demonstrated that the new generators are of several advantages over traditional electric generators that are well known to us. In these new generators, DC electric power is converted from mechanical power through either semiconductor junction modification by mechanic impact or dynamic junction by sliding one semiconductor/metal electrode on the other. The short circuit current is determined by the generation rate of electrons and holes at the contacted surfaces, while the open-circuit voltage is determined by the chemical potential difference of the two electrodes. In the talk, I shall review recent advances in the generators and discuss the mechanisms of electron/hole generation and transport in the devices. Advances in fundamental semiconductor physics and perspectives and technical challenges will be highlighted. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/283533

The IEEE Young Professionals (YP) Montreal Section jointly with the IEEE Student branches of Montreal Section organized and led the IEEE Day 2021 celebration in collaboration with the IEEE Montreal section. The event provided the opportunity to the attendees to get more familiar with the IEEE organization through the speech delivered by past members of the IEEE Montreal Section. The event will also cover the activities of the IEEE Student Branches (SBs) along with the events organized by the IEEE YP Montreal Section. On the behalf of all organizers, we would like to invite all students and members to join us in celebrating IEEE Day 2021. Speaker(s): Prof. Dr. Anader Benyamin-Seeyar, Agenda: 19:00-19:10 Opening and welcome by the section chair 19:15-19:45 Talk by Prof. Dr. Anader Benyamin-Seeyar, Concordia University, Dept. of Electr. & Comput. Eng. Montreal Section Awards & Recognition Committee, and Membership Development, Chair 19:45-20:30 Game and IEEE mug Draw Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/279792
