Molecular Beam Epitaxy describes a technique in wide-spread use for the production of high-
quality semiconductor devices. It discusses the most important aspects of the MBE …

Excitonic and nonlinear-optical properties of dielectric quantum-well (DQW) structures are
investigated theoretically. A DQW is a quantum well sandwiched by barrier materials with a …

Epitaxial insulators have a number of potential applications in the semiconductor industry.
These include semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structures, three-dimensional (3-D) and/or …

The physics and technology of a relatively new, short‐time, thermal processing technique,
namely rapid isothermal processing (RIP), based on incoherent sources of light for the …

Epitaxial fluorides have attracted attention in recent years because of the many potential
microelectronic and optoelectronic device applications of semiconductor/epitaxial …

Upon impact on a solid surface, the potential energy stored in slow highly charged ions is
primarily deposited into the electronic system of the target. By decelerating the projectile …

Calcium fluoride is a dielectric material with a wide bandgap ($12.1 eV) and a relatively high
dielectric constant ($6.8) that forms a van der Waals interface with two-dimensional (2D) …

High-resolution core-level and Auger-electron spectroscopy, polarization-dependent near-
edge x-ray absorption, and angle-resolved photoemission are used to study the electronic …

The monographic book addresses the basics of the charge carrier photoemission from one
solid to another-the internal photoemission,(IPE)-and different spectroscopic applications of …

Resonant optical second-harmonic and sum-frequency generation are applied to probe
electronic transitions at the Ca-terminated epi-taxial CaF 2/Si (111) interface. A band gap of …
