Rare Earth and Transition Metal Doping of Semiconductor Material explores traditional semiconductor devices that are based on control of the electron's electric charge. This book looks at the semiconductor materials used for spintronics applications, in particular focusing on wide band-gap semiconductors doped with transition metals and rare earths. These materials are of particular commercial interest because their spin can be controlled at room temperature, a clear opposition to the most previous research on Gallium Arsenide, which allowed for control of spins at supercold temperatures. Part One of the book explains the theory of magnetism in semiconductors, while Part Two covers the growth of semiconductors for spintronics. Finally, Part Three looks at the characterization and properties of semiconductors for spintronics, with Part Four exploring the devices and the future direction of spintronics. - Examines materials which are of commercial interest for producing smaller, faster, and more power-efficient computers and other devices - Analyzes the theory behind magnetism in semiconductors and the growth of semiconductors for spintronics - Details the properties of semiconductors for spintronics

The Fourth International Workshop on Electroluminescence (EL-88) was held at the Hotel Holiday, Tottori, Japan, October 11-14, 1988. This workshop was sponsored by the 125 Research Committee on Mutual Conversion between Light and Electricity, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, in cooperation with SID (Society for Infonnation Display) Japan Chapter, Tottori Prefecture, the Tot tori Industrial Technology Association, and the Foundation for Advancement of International Science (FAIS). The workshop EL-88 was a continuation of the series of international work shops held successively at Liege (Belgium) in 1980, Bad Stuer (DDR) in 1983, and at Wann Springs (Oregon, USA) in 1986. It brought together scientists and engi neers from universities and industry who shared a common interest in discussing electroluminescence and related topics. The number of participants reached 253; 49 from abroad (10 countries) and 204 from Japan. This is almost four times as many as in the previous workshop in 1986, reflecting the recent rapid development and progress of electroluminescence research.

InP is a key semiconductor for the production of optoelectronic and photonic devices. Its related compounds, such as InGaAsP alloy, have been realized as very important materials for communication in the 1.3 and 1.55 micron spectral regions. Furthermore, the applications on InP and related compounds have extended to other areas that include laser diodes, light emitting diodes, photodetectors, waveguides, photocathodes, solar cells, and many other applications. The topics presented in this book have been chosen to achieve a balance between the properties of bulk materials, doping, characterization, applications, and devices. This unique volume, featuring chapters written by experts in the field, provides a good starting point for those who are new to the subject and contains detailed results and in depth discussions for those who are experts in the field.

Rare-earth doped semiconductors hold great potential for a variety of optoelectronic applications, including lasers, LEDs and optical amplifiers. In fact, the field has grown rapidly over the past several years, with a clear switch in direction. The first book by this name was devoted to rare-earth doped II-VI and III-V semiconductors; more than half of the papers in this new volume are devoted to rare-earth doped silicon. This indicates that rare-earth doping of silicon is now seriously considered as a means to achieve silicon-based optoelectronic devices. In addition, new reports on rare-earth doped III-nitrides are also presented. Researchers from 14 countries come together in the volume to discuss current trends, highlight new developments and identify potential electronic and optoelectronic applications. Topics include: incorporation methods and properties; structural, electrical and optical properties; excitation mechanisms and electroluminescence and integration.
