Photoconductivity and Photoconductive Materials, 2 Volume Set Fundamentals, Techniques and Applications

In Photoconductivity and Photoconductive Materials, Professor Kasap delivers a definitive guide to the basic principles of photoconductivity and a selection of present topical photoconductive materials. Divided into two parts, the set begins with basic concepts and definitions and coverage of characterization using steady state, transient and modulated photoconductivity techniques, including the novel charge extraction by linearly increasing voltage (CELIV) method The physics of terahertz photoconductivity and fundamentals of organic semiconductors lsois are also covered.

Part Two of the set starts with a comprehensive review of a wide range of photoconductive materials and then focuses on some of the most important photoconductors, including hydrogenated amorphous silicon, cadmium mercury telluride, various x-ray photoconductors, diamond films, metal halide perovskites, nanowires and quantum dots. Photoconductive antenna application is also included. Filled with contributions from leading authors in the field, this book also offers:

• A thorough introduction to the characterization of semiconductors from photoconductivity techniques, including uniform illumination and photocarrier grating techniques
• Comprehensive explorations of organic photoconductors, including photogeneration, transport, and applications in printing
• Practical discussions of time-of-flight transient photoconductivity, including experimental techniques and interpretation
• In-depth examinations of transient photoconductivity of organic semiconducting films and novel transient photoconductivity techniques

Perfect for research physicists, materials scientists, and electrical engineers, Photoconductivity and Photoconductive Materials is also an indispensable resource for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students working in the area of optoelectronic materials, as well as researchers working in industry.

Safa Kasap, PhD, DSc, is a Distinguished Professor in Electronic and Optoelectronic Materials and Devices at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. He has over 35 years' experience in optoelectronic materials and is Editor-in-Chief for Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics.
