Research on the Dynamic Structure of Liquids, Liquid Crystals and Disordered Solids. Research on Semiconductor Materials and Devices

Abstract

The dynamic structure of liquids and disordered solids is investigated by Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman light scattering, by nuclear magnetic resonance and by infrared absorption. Simple liquids, liquid crystals, polymers, glasses, organic semiconductor and hydrogen in metals are the objects of investigation. The properties of light emitting and laser diodes of the semiconductors GaAsP, InGaAs and InGaP are investigated to improve and extend their behavior. Impurities and imperfections in silicon which affect the properties of solid state devices are investigated for the purpose of controlling and improving device performance.
