Physics of Amorphous Semiconductors


Book Description

This is a useful textbook for graduate students in the fields of solid state physics and chemistry as well as electronic engineering. Presenting the fundamentals of amorphous semiconductors clearly, it will be essential reading for young scientists intending to develop new preparation techniques for more ideal amorphous semiconductors e.g. a-Si: H, to fabricate stable and efficient solar cells and thin film transistors and new artificial amorphous materials such as multilayers for quantum devices.A large portion is devoted to the latest developments of amorphous semiconductors including electronic properties of a-Si: H, nature of weak bonds and gap states in a-Si: H, mechanisms for light-induced defect creation in a-Si: H and chalcogenides, quantum phenomena in multilayer fi

Optical Properties of Crystalline and Amorphous Semiconductors


Book Description

Optical Properties of Crystalline and Amorphous Semiconductors: Materials and Fundamental Principles presents an introduction to the fundamental optical properties of semiconductors. This book presents tutorial articles in the categories of materials and fundamental principles (Chapter 1), optical properties in the reststrahlen region (Chapter 2), those in the interband transition region (Chapters 3 and 4) and at or below the fundamental absorption edge (Chapter 5). Optical Properties of Crystalline and Amorphous Semiconductors: Materials and Fundamental Principles is presented in a form which could serve to teach the underlying concepts of semiconductor optical properties and their implementation. This book is an invaluable resource for device engineers, solid-state physicists, material scientists and students specializing in the fields of semiconductor physics and device engineering.

Fundamentals of Amorphous Semiconductors


Book Description

The study of glasses has been important historically because of their great technological usefulness. One class of these materials, amorphous semiconductors, has evoked a great deal of interest during the past few years. The report is intended to provide an overview of the field, its present standing, and its promise. The fundamental structural and electronic properties and the present level of understanding of these properties is of primary concern. However, much of the progress in solid state physics has traditionally been motivated by technological considerations. Therefore, the principal aspects of the physics underlying the more important amorphous semiconductor devices are discussed, as well as the technological setting in which this new field finds itself.
