Diamond and Zinc-Blende Structure Semiconductors

  • Chapter
Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 75))

Abstract

In this chapter, we will concentrate on the tetravalent semiconductors. These materials are, in many ways, archtypical semiconductors. Owing to their elemental nature and their enormous technological value, our theoretical and experimental knowledge of these elements probably exceeds that for any other solid state material. For example, it is often stated that silicon is to solid state physics what the hydrogen atom is to atomic physics. Though clichés are often trivializing in nature, the comparison here is not. The amount of data for silicon is immense; almost every conceivable probe has been applied to silicon with a concurrent analysis of theoretical predictions. Most of the theoretical results given in this chapter are from [8.1].
