Vibrational, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of 3-4 Semiconductors

Abstract

Theories of the mechanical, vibrational, and electronic properties of III-V semiconductors have been developed and applied to (i) help determine the feasibility of InN-based visible and ultraviolet lasers and light detectors, (ii) develop a theory of phonons in semiconductor alloys, (iii) understand surface reconstruction of semiconductors, (iv) predict the effects of atomic correlations on the light-scattering (Raman) properties of semiconductive alloys, (v) develop a new first principles pseudo-function implementation of local-density theory, (vi) study the oxidation of GaAs, (vii) develop a theory of scanning tunneling microscope images, and (viii) understand the electronic and optical properties of highly strained artificial semiconductors and small semiconductor particles.
