Energy Transfer in Semiconductors

  • Chapter
Energy Transfer Processes in Condensed Matter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 114))

Abstract

From the rather large and complex field of energy transfer processes in semiconductors we selected for this article the following topics: The transfer of energy from a photon-field in vacuum through the surface into a semiconductor, the propagating modes of light in a semiconductor (the socalled polaritons), the transfer of energy from exciton-polaritons to the phonon field and finally the transfer of energy from one exciton-polariton mode to others by nonlinear interaction.
