Semiconductor Nanostructures for Optoelectronic Applications
- Book Review,
by Todd Steiner (Editor)
From Book News, Inc.
Researchers at a number of US universities review the current status of semiconductor nanostructure growth and materials development, and of semiconductor devices using nanostructures with a particular emphasis on three-dimensional nanostructures that have emerged during the past decade. They cover crystal, thin-film, and nanostructure growth technologies; quantum dot infrared photodetectors; the theory of quantum dot lasers; high-speed quantum dot lasers; nanostructures based on zinc oxide; antimony-based materials for electro-optics; growth, structures, and optical properties of III-nitride quantum dots; self-assembled Germanium nano-islands on silicon and potential applications; and carbon nanotube engineering and physics.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
Written by today’s best researchers of semiconductor nanostructures, this cutting-edge resource provides a snapshot of this exciting and fast-changing field. The book covers the latest advances in nanotechnology and discusses the applications of nanostructures to optoelectronics, photonics, and electronics. You learn how to grow, characterize and design optoelectronic devices using semiconductor nanostrucutres, and how to incorporate semiconductor nanostructures materials into conventional quantum well devices. Moreover, the book reviews optical, electronic, and structural characterization techniques to help you determine the properties of nanostructures and explore novel nanostructured materials. This unique reference describes revolutionary devices that have been enabled by the growth of quantum dots, including quantum dot lasers and quantum dot detectors. You find detailed discussions on some of the more promising semiconductor material systems that have demonstrated nanostructuring, such as III-Nitrides, antimony-based, Silicon germanium, and Zinc Oxide. The book also provides a solid understanding of ordered carbon nanotubes and related structures, along with explanations of their novel uses as infrared detectors and solar cells.
