Optical Absorption of Impurities and Defects in SemiconductingCrystals

Absorption spectroscopy provides information on the chemical nature, atomic structure and concentration of hydrogen-like centers, to which belong most of the dopants of semiconductors and insulators. In this book, an introduction to the bulk optical prope

Foreword

During World War II and in the years immediately following its end, the importance of silicon and germanium as semiconductors and their potential for solid state electronics became very apparent. The growth of bulk semiconductors, free from structural and
