Polarization Effects in Semiconductors: From AB Initio Theory to Device Application

by Colin Wood

Talks about the solid physics, electronic implications and practical applications of the unique spontaneous or pyro-electric polarization charge of hexagonal semiconductors, and the piezo-electric effects in thin film hetero-structures, which are used in wide forbidden band gap sensor, electronic and opto-electronic semiconductor devices.
