E-Books →Quaternary Alloys Based on IV–VI and IV–VI2 Semiconductors

and optoelectronic devices as light-emitting diodes and solar cells. The electrical properties of these semiconductors can also
be tuned by adding impurity atoms. Because of their wide application in various devices, the search for new semiconductor
materials and the improvement of existing materials is an important field of study. Doping with impurities is a common method
of modifying and diversifying the properties of physical and chemical semiconductors. This book covers all known information
about phase relations in quaternary systems based on IV-VI and IV-VI2 semiconductors, providing the first systematic account of
phase equilibria in quaternary systems based on IV-VI and IV-VI2 semiconductors and making research originally published in
Ukrainian and Russian accessible to the wider scientific community. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate
students studying materials science, solid-state chemistry, and engineering. It will also be relevant for researchers at industrial and
national laboratories, in addition to phase diagram researchers, inorganic chemists, and solid-state physicists.
Key Features:
* Provides up-to-date experimental and theoretical information.
* A source of information for synthesizing semiconducting materials with predetermined properties.
* Delivers a critical evaluation of many industrially important systems presented in the form of two-dimensional sections
for the condensed phases.
