Doped by isovalent or heterovalent foreign impurities (F), II-VI semiconductor compounds enable control of optical and electronic properties, making them ideal in detectors, solar cells, and other precise device applications. For the reproducible manufacturing of the doped materials with predicted and desired properties, manufacturing technologists
The groups II-VI ternary semiconducting compounds are of technological device importance as cathode-ray tube screens, infrared detectors, display devices, injection lasers, solar cells and image intensifiers. These tables include the most reliable property information available to date for these compounds, including mechanical, crystallographic, physical, thermal, magnetic, electronic and optical data.

Aiming to bridge the gap in understanding between professional electrochemists and hard-core semiconductor physicists and material scientists, this book examines the science and technology of semiconductor electrode-positioning. Summarizing state-of-the-art information concerning a wide variety of semiconductors, it reviews fundamental electrodeposition concepts and terminology.
The field of narrow-gap II-VI materials is dominated by lhe compound mercury cadmium telluride, MCT or Hg1_ .. Cd .. Te. By varying the x value, material can be made to cover all the important infrared (lR) ranges of interest. It is probably true to say that MCT is the third most studied semiconductor after silicon and gallium arsenide. As current epitaxial layers of MCT are mainly grown on bulk CdTe family substrates these materials are included in this book, although strictly, of course, they are not 'narrow-gap'. This book is intended for readers who are either new to the field or are experienced workers in the field who need a comprehensive and up to date view of this rapidly expanding area. To satisfy the needs of the frrst group each chapter discusses the principles underlying each topic and some of the historical background before bringing the reader the most recent information available. For those currently in the field the book can be used as a collection of useful data, as a guide to the literature and as an overview of topics covering the wide range of work areas.

Doped by isovalent or heterovalent foreign impurities, II-VI semiconductor compounds enable control of optical and electronic properties, making them ideal in detectors, solar cells, and other precise device applications. Quaternary alloys allow a simultaneous adjustment of band gap and lattice constant, increasing radiant efficiency at a wide rang
This volume provides the readers an in-depth, yet concise, overview of the physico-chemical structures, luminescence and related properties of II-VI compounds which are being utilised and exhaustively studied these days for their applications in LED's, modern optoelectronic devices, flat EL screens and panels, infrared detectors, photovoltaic and thermal solar energy converters etc. The book, therefore, should be useful to a wide variety of people (working in the field of luminescence and related properties of II-VI compounds, i.e. advanced graduate students) and serve as a review to researchers entering in this field and working on these materials. It should also be useful to solid state spectroscopists, lasers physicists; electronic and illuminating engineering people, and all those professionals using these materials.
