Optical Absorption of Impurities and Defects in Semiconducting Crystals

Electronic Absorption of Deep Centres and Vibrational Spectra

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book outlines, with the help of several specific examples, the important role played by absorption spectroscopy in the investigation of deep-level centers introduced in semiconductors and insulators like diamond, silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide by high-energy irradiation, residual impurities, and defects produced during crystal growth. It also describes the crucial role played by vibrational spectroscopy to determine the atomic structure and symmetry of complexes associated with light impurities like hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, and as a tool for quantitative analysis of these elements in the materials.

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)
