Capper P. (Ed.) Bulk Crystal Growth of Electronic, Optical and Optoelectronic Materials [Wiley Series in Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications]

Wiley, 2005, 541 pages

A valuable, timely book for the crystal growth community, edited by one of the most respected members in the field.
Contents cover all the important materials from silicon through the III-V and II-IV compounds to oxides, nitrides, fluorides, carbides and diamonds
This book is an attempt to summarise the position in a number of these areas where bulk-grown crystals are central to particular industries. The book is aimed at senior under– and post-graduates in physics, chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering and optical engineering disciplines, as well as those employed in the various fields of crystal growth within the relevant industries. It is hoped that the former group will find the book readable both as an introductory text and as a useful guide to the literature. Workers in industry will hopefully find the book useful in bringing them up-to-date information in both their own and other areas of interest.
