Narrow Gap II-VI Compounds for Optoelectronic and (Electronic Materials Series)
Narrow Gap IIVI Compounds for Optoelectronic and - Electronic Materials Series Narrow Gap II-VI Compounds for Optoelectronic and Electromagnetic Applications will enable readers to gain an insight into this extremely important area of electronic materials activity. Specialists in the field will benefit from its wide-ranging and topical coverage of the subject. At the same time, each of the chapters covers the basic p... more »rinciples associated with the topic concerned and includes references for further study and so will be suitable for advanced graduate courses. Narrow Gap II-VI Compounds for Optoelectronic and Electromagnetic Applications is organised in three main sections. The first covers the growth of materials from the earliest, though still used, bulk techniques, through to the more recent epitaxial techniques, based on both liquid and gas phases, and includes the exciting new area of low dimensional solids and the novel concepts which arise from them. The second section discusses the properties of the materials which make them useful in optical, transport, doping, defects, diffusion and structural applications, and the interfacial and surface effects. In addition, there is a separate chapter on dilute magnetic semiconductors and their unique and fascinating properties. Finally, there is a devices section which encompasses the major fields of infrared detection and emission, by several device types, and the expanding areas of solar cell production and room temperature detection of X-rays and gamma-rays.« less
