Focusing on small semiconductor systems, the book explores how size and shape influence thermodynamic and optoelectronic properties at the mesoscopic and nanoscopic levels. It delves into the characteristics of individual nanometric crystallites, nanocrystalline films, and nanowires, providing an in-depth analysis of their thermodynamic, structural, and optical properties.
Focusing on semiconductor materials, this textbook provides an in-depth exploration of their synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and optimization. Authored by a leading expert, it incorporates the latest advancements in nanomaterials, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking to understand cutting-edge developments in the field.
Aim of this book is to focus on the properties of defects in semiconductors of the fourth group under a physico-chemical approach, capable to demonstrate whether the full acknowledgement of their chemical nature could account for several problems encountered in practice or would suggest further experimental or theoretical accomplishments.
