photoelectromagnetic effect [¦fōd·ō·i¦lek·trō·mag′nedik i′fekt] (electronics) The effect whereby, when light falls on a flat surface of an intermetallic semiconductor located in a magnetic field that is parallel to the surface, excess hole-electron pairs are created, and these carriers diffuse in the direction of the light but are deflected by the magnetic field to give a current flow through the semiconductor that is at right angles to both the light rays and the magnetic field.
