Polarization Effects in Semiconductors - From Ab Initio Theory to Device Applications (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2008)

This book presents the latest understanding of the solid physics, electronic implications and practical applications of the unique spontaneous or pyro-electric polarization charge of hexagonal semiconductors, and the piezo-electric effects in thin film hetero-structures which are used in wide forbidden band gap sensor, electronic and opto-electronic semiconductor devices.
