Defects and Impurities in Silicon Materials e-bog

This book emphasizesthe importance of the fascinating atomistic insights into the defects and theimpurities as well as the dynamic behaviors in silicon materials, which havebecome more directly accessible over the past 20 years. Such progress has beenmade possible by newly developed experimental methods, first principle theories,and computer simulation techniques. The book is aimed at young researchers, scientists, and technicians in related industries. The mainpurposes are to provide readers with 1) the basic physics behind defects insilicon materials, 2) the atomistic modeling as well as the characterizationtechniques related to defects and impurities in silicon materials, and 3) anoverview of the wide range of the research fields involved.
