CdTe and Related Compounds; Physics, Defects, Hetero- and Nano-structures, Crystal Growth, Surfaces and Applications: Physics, CdTe-based ... (European Materials Research Society Series) - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book covers all of the topics associated with CdTe (cadmium telluride) which is an "old" semiconductor, but still quite topical, from the physics to the applications.

For many years scientists have known that rare compounds such as cadmium telluride, cadmium zinc telluride and cadmium mercury are ideal semiconductor materials for creating high-definition detectors – but the challenge of producing these crystalline structures has been enormous.

Both editors have worked for more than 40 years on CdTe and they have organized several CdTe-dedicated international conferences. They are particularly well placed to act as editors of a book by gathering, updating, and reviewing research dedicated to CdTe and developing a state of the art text in conjunction with the world’s leading authorities in this area.

• Detailed coverage of the main topics associated with the very topical II-VI semiconductor compound CdTe and its alloy CZT
• Review of the CdTe recent developments
• Fundamental background of many topics clearly introduced and exposed
