Optical Absorption of Impurities and Defects in Semiconducting Crystals

Hydrogen-like Centres

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Semiconducting and Insulating Crystals details how absorption spectroscopy provides information on the nature, concentration, charge state and configuration of impurities in crystals and also on their kinetics and transformations under annealing. After an introduction of the bulk optical properties of semiconductors and insulators and of impurities in crystals, this book presents the physical bases necessary for the understanding of impurity spectra. The description of various set-ups and accessories used in absorption spectroscopy is followed by a presentation of experimental results on specific impurities and classes of impurities and their relation with those obtained by various computation and by other experimental techniques.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Provide a comprehensive and up to date overview of the field. ... the book constitutes a valuable resource for linking the development of materials characterization for micro and opto electronics with the new needs of the growing photovoltaic industry. ... a very useful manual for researchers from graduate to higher levels and for experimentalists who want to enter the subject. ... The books should find a place in the bookshelf of every researcher interested in semiconductor materials and devices ... ." (S. Sanguinetti, Il Nuovo Saggiatore, Vol. 27 (1-2), 2011)
