Electronic Properties of Solids.
Abstract
Solid State devices have been widely used in the electronics area for many years and more recently are being used extensively in the electro-optic field. The properties of these devices depend strongly on the material properties, of the semiconductor from which they are produced. The investigations in this work unit were concentrated on several wide band gap materials composed of elements from group II and group VI of the periodic table. The approach centered around studying the basic properties of the pure material and also the effect of doping impurities. The investigations from this work unit have had an impact in the scientific community by providing a large number of material constants which clarify the electronic and electro-optic behavior of these materials. They have also uncovered new phenomena, new research approaches and material parameters useful in testing specialized aspects of the theory of solids. (Author)
