Download or read book Progress in Compound Semiconductor Materials IV Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications written by Gail J. Brown and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central to bandgap engineering, or more precisely, 'wave-function engineering,' is the concept that, by spatially varying the composition and doping of semiconductors over distances ranging from a few micrometers down to one monolayer, one can tailor the electronic band structure in a nearly arbitrary and continuous way using epitaxial growth techniques. The objective of this book is to review the progress on interband and intersubband transitions in semiconductors including III-V, IV and II-VI materials and quantum structures, as well as to cover the progress on light sources, detectors, modulators and electronic materials and devices. This book brings together internationally recognized researchers to report on their most recent results and newly gained insights and to provide an up-to-date snapshot of optoelectronics and related fields in 2004/2005. The book covers a wide range of topics spanning opto- and microelectronic materials, growth and synthesis, devices, experimental techniques, modeling tools, and applications. Wavelength ranges span from the UV to the THz, and into the GHz modulation range.

Download or read book Thermoelectric Materials 2003 Volume 793 written by G. S. Nolas and published by . This book was released on 2004-03-17 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measure of a thermoelectric material is given by the material's figure of merit. For over three decades the best thermoelectric materials had a ZT = 1. Recently, however, there are reports of new methods of materials synthesis that result in improvements beyond this performance. In addition, rapid characterization, as well as faster theoretical modeling of thermoelectric materials, has resulted in a more rapid evaluation of new materials. This book offers a look at these results and provides a benchmark for the current state in the field of thermoelectric materials research and development. The focus is on new and innovative directions that will lead to the next generation thermoelectric materials for small-scale refrigeration and power generation applications. The book emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the research needed to advance the science and technology of the field. Both theoretical and experimental studies are featured. Topics include: low-dimensional systems and nanocomposites; devices; oxides; skutterudites; complex bulk materials and measurements; novel approaches; and thermoelectric materials and technology.

Download or read book Quasicrystals 2003 Volume 805 written by E. Belin-Ferre and published by Materials Research Society. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after the discovery of a quasicrystalline compound, the field of quasicrystals still raises interest and is continuously evolving. Quasicrystals display properties different from conventional crystals with small unit cells and present interesting potential for industrial purposes. This book offers an updated look into the field of quasicrystalline research. For example, a report on electrodeposited Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals shows great promise for industry. It is also demonstrated that when Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals are used as catalysts, in particular at high temperatures, such quasicrystals outperform conventional industrial catalysts. A new class of quasicrystal, based on a novel type of local order differing from previously observed Mackay- and Bergman-type quasicrystals, is featured. A detailed description of layer-by-layer growth of a Cu film on a quasicrystalline surface is also provided. Additional topics include: synthesis and structure; transport properties; electronic properties; mechanical properties; quasicrystals from metallic glasses; surfaces and coatings; and applications and hydrogen storage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on recent advances in nanostructured and nanophase materials and their applications. Nanostructured materials consist of domains of less than 100nm and include atom clusters and cluster assemblies, one- and two-dimensionally modulated layers and three-dimensional structures. The term 'nanophase' refers to structures comprised of domains or particles of a single material that are typically less than 100nm, whereas 'nanocomposite' refers to a composite of more than one nanophase. Nanoscale materials can be engineered as homogeneous or porous ceramics, metals, metal oxides, semiconductors, organic polymers, or as composite materials containing these components. This book brings together scientists from many disciplines to share and discuss advances in the field. Topics include: nanophase materials; nanocomposite materials; nanoporous materials; nanostructured materials; applications and properties of nanostructured materials; carbon nanotubes; nanostructured thin films and coatings; and theoretical and modeling studies of nanostructured materials.

Download or read book Molecularly Imprinted Materials 2003 written by Peter Kofinas and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of materials that can bind selectively to a target molecule is the key to unlocking a host of new technologies. Molecular imprinting is an established technology, which allows the synthesis of materials containing highly specific receptor sites having an affinity for a target compound. For example, molecularly imprinted materials can mimic some of the functions of enzymes through the creation of three-dimensional cavities of specific size and shape for biorecognition of bioactive compounds. This volume offers a forum for technical exchange among members of the worldwide community of scientists and engineers who work in the area of molecular imprinting. Researchers from academia, government and industry present results in applications of molecular imprinting related to catalysis, combinatorial and computational methods, new monomers and recognition strategies, sensors, drug discovery and therapy, and new molecular imprinting formats.
Download or read book Hydrogen in Semiconductors written by Norbert H. Nickel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of hydrogen in solids is of significant importance in modern technology. Often present in large concentrations by various growth techniques, hydrogen affects the structural, electronic, and optical properties of crystals. Isolated hydrogen is often electrically active, causing passivation or charge compensation of defects and impurities. Since the presidential proposal of the Freedom Car, hydrogen in semiconductors takes another twist as a potential source of clean fuel for the future. The study of hydrogen transport, diffusion, and chemical reaction in solids is, therefore, of significant social importance. But as often happens in science, different groups of researchers studying hydrogen in solids do not always speak the same language. For example, few people would consider silicon as a practical fuel storage material due to its weight, but in reality, aluminum hydrides have been seriously considered for such a purpose. The knowledge acquired in the last half century for hydrogen in conventional semiconductors has not been effectively transferred to the study of hydrogen storage in emerging semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes. This volume brings together scientists from various research areas to encourage cross fertilization and wider dissemination of the advances in this important field of study. Highlights include recent developments in the understanding of light-induced metastability in amorphous silicon, hydrogen in zinc oxide as a means of n-type doping, and hydrogen doping of dilute nitrides that modifies the bandgap in some rather surprising ways. Hydrogen interaction with donors and acceptors is a never-ending story that is also featured here. Topics include: hydrogen in elemental semiconductors; hydrogen in oxides; and general properties of hydrogen in semiconductors.
