About Electrochemistry of Semi-conductors?

Dear All,

Why n-type semiconductors act as photoanodes and give high cathodic currents in the dark? The reverse is true for p-type ones, why they serve as photocathodes and produce considerable anodic currents without light?

Comparing Liposome Size: DLS Measurement vs. SEM Observation with Air Drying ?

I have an issue with SEM imaging of liposomes. When measured by DLS, they appear to be around 120 nm, but when using SEM with simple air drying, they appear much larger, around one micrometer.
