Overview

Optoelectronics and electronics of the years to come are likely to change dramatically. Most of the outdoor lighting systems will be replaced by light-emitting diodes that operate in the whole visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Transistors operating at high frequency and with high power are under development and likely to hit the market very rapidly. Compact solid state lasers that operate in the near-ultraviolet range are going to be utilized for such widely used applications as read-write tasks in printers and CD drives. Ultraviolet detectors will be used at a wide scale for many applications, ranging from flame detectors to medical instruments. This book concerns itself with the questions why nitride semiconductors are so promising over such a wide range of applications, what the current issues are in the research laboratories, and what the prospects of new electronic devices are in the dawn of the twenty first century.

Reviews

For the immediate future this volume will serve very well those who need to gain insights into specific aspects of nitride materials physics. The dynamic range of the contributions should ensure that most interested readers will find a viewpoint that coincides with their own requirements. Contemporary Physics ... drawing on the energies of a number of authors enables the production of quite a long book in a shorter time than most single authors would be able to achieve. Given that the area is now one of much activity, the timeliness of such a volume is crucial. Contemporary Physics ... the use of experts in defined subareas gives an opportunity to provide the most authoritative view on the relevant topic. Contemporary Physics ... a very interesting multi-author compilation which seems to be entirely fit for its defined purpose. Contemporary Physics


`Review from other book by this author 'One suspects this book[Group III Nitride Semiconductor Compounds, OUP 1998] will be the first in an extremely valuable series'. ' Paul D. Brown, Materials World, Oct. 1998
