Vibrational, Mechanica, and Thermal Properties of III-V Semiconductors
Abstract
Theories of the mechanical, vibrational, and electronic properties of III-V semiconductors have been developed and applied to (1) understanding the physics underlying the II-VI doping problem and suggesting band-gap engineering schemes for circumventing the problem; (2) making predictions of how the character of deep and shallow impurities can be different in superlattices from in bulk materials (3) understanding how surfaces of zincblende and wurtzite semiconductors relax, and how this relaxation depends on the ionicity of the semiconductor: (4) obtaining better insight into the properties of semiconducting alloys, both electronically and vibrationally, with attention paid to how ordering phenomena in these alloys affects their properties.
