Chasm synonyms
Category:
hole (related)
A gap, usually the valence band of an insulator or semiconductor, that would normally be filled with one electron.

Even though holes are in fact the absence of a negatively charged particle (an electron), they can be treated theoretically as positively charged particles, whose motion gives rise to electric current.
