The first volume of this series [2.1] was written in 1973-74. At that time, reliable cw dye lasers
had become commercially available and their range of tunability was being rapidly …

We use a recently developed ab initio approach to calculate the lattice thermal conductivities
of compound semiconductors. An exact numerical solution of the phonon Boltzmann …

Since their advent around the start of the millennium, hot carrier solar cells came into the
focus of a broader research community as one of the so-called third generation photovoltaic …

Raman scattering measurements between 20 and 450 K are reported in Ga 1− x Al x As
single crystals for the range 0≤ x≤ 1. Peak-frequency and linewidth variations versus …

A comparative survey of known experimental and theoretical values of heavy-hole and
electron effective mass in GaAs, InAs, and A1As is presented in this work. Recommended …

We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of long-wavelength optical-
phonon behavior in Ga 1− x In x As alloys. We propose a model which accounts …

We present results of first-and second-order Raman-scattering experiments on hexagonal
and cubic InN covering the acoustic and optical phonon and overtone region. Using a …

We have applied the multiband effective mass/valence force field method to the calculation
of optical transitions and absorption spectra in InAs/GaAs self-organized dots of different …

We report on x-ray diffraction and micro-Raman scattering studies on zinc blende InN
epitaxial films. The samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) …

In general, vibrational physics has been well described by quantum perturbation theory
(QPT) to provide footprint characteristics for common crystals. However, despite weak …
