Zinc Oxide (ZnO) powder has been widely used as a white paint pigment and industrial processing chemical for nearly 150 years. However, following a rediscovery of ZnO and its potential applications in the 1950s, science and industry alike began to realize that ZnO had many interesting novel properties that were worthy of further investigation.
ZnO is a leading candidate for the next generation of electronics, and
its biocompatibility makes it viable for medical devices. This book
covers recent advances including crystal growth, processing and doping
and also discusses the problems and issues that seem to be impeding the
commercialization of devices.
Topics include:
- Energy band structure and spintronics
- Fundamental optical and electronic properties
- Electronic contacts of ZnO
- Growth of ZnO crystals and substrates
- Ultraviolet photodetectors
- ZnO quantum wells
Zinc Oxide Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Device Applications
is ideal for university, government, and industrial research and
development laboratories, particularly those engaged in ZnO and related
materials research.
