Summary

Exploring electric refractory materials, this book covers developments of blue light-emitting diodes using GaN-based nitrides for laser and high-temperature and -frequency devices. It introduces growth and evaluation standards of films and bulk crystals, with consideration of band structure, surface electronic structure, and lattice vibrations. It also covers heat capacity and thermal conductivity, irradiation properties, and selective surfaces. The book examines the synthesis and characterization of diamond material as well as its electrical, optical, and conductive properties and discusses the use of silicon carbide, boron compounds, and other materials.
