Abstract
The purpose of the present article is to demonstrate that acousto-electric methods may be used to characterize piezoelectric semiconductors in the case of bipolar photoconduction. The wide gap II–VI semiconductor CdTe is used as an example for this characterization method.
Based upon the Habilitation Thesis, University of Karlsruhe (1987).
