CdTe and Related Compounds; Physics, Defects, Hetero- and Nano-structures, Crystal Growth, Surfaces and Applications

Almost thirty years after the remarkable monograph of K. Zanio and Cheddies, as well as Cheddies. det nuclear nuclear nuclear nuclear nuclear nuclear II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II. II-VI semiconductor compounds, covering all their prominent, modern and fundamental aspects, seemed very relevant and useful.

• Particulary of the II-VI semiconductor compound CdTe and its alloy CZT


• Review of the CdTe recent developments


• Fundamental background of many topics clearly and exposed
