Semiconducting and insulating crystals: optical absorption of impurities and defects

Semiconducting and Insulating Cystals details how absorption spectroscopy provides information on the nature, concentration, charge state and configurationof impurities in crystals and also on their kinetics and transformations under annealing. After an introduction of the bulk optical properties of semiconductors and insulators and of impurities in crystals, this book presents the physical bases necessary for the understanding of impurity spectra. The description of various set-ups and accessories used in absorption spectroscopy is followed by a presentation of experimental results on specific impurities and classes of impurities and their relation with those obtained by various computationand by other experimental techniques. Only comprehensive book on this topic on the market INDICE: 1. Introduction.- 2. Origins and atomic properties of H-like centres.- 3. Bulk optical absorption.- 4. Methods and techniques of absorption spectroscopy.- 5. Effective-mass theory and its use.- 6. Donor and donor-like EM spectra.- 7. Acceptor spectra.- 8. Effects of perturbations.
