Handbook of II-VI Semiconductor-Based Sensors and Radiation Detectors

Three-volumes book “Handbook of II-VI Semiconductor-Based Sensors and Radiation Detectors” is the first to cover both chemical sensors and biosensors and all types of photodetectors and radiation detectors based on II-VI semiconductors. It contains a comprehensive and detailed analysis of all aspects of the application of II-VI semiconductors in these devices. The second volume “Photodetectors” of a three-volume set, focus on the consideration of all types of optical detectors, including IR detectors, visible and UV photodetectors. This consideration includes both the fundamentals of the operation of detectors and the peculiarities of their manufacture and use. In particular, describes numerous strategies for their fabrication and characterization. An analysis of new trends in development of II-VI semiconductors-based photodetectors such as graphene/HgCdTe-, nanowire- and quantum dot-based photodetectors, as well as solution-processed, multicolor, flexible and self-powered photodetectors, are also given. - Considers all types of photodetectors based on II-VI semiconductors; - Features detailed analysis of all aspects of II-VI semiconductors applications; - Maximizes reader understanding of the present status of II-VI semiconductors and their role in the development of next generation of photodetectors; - Stands as an ideal reference for researchers concerned with electronics, optoelectronics, solar cells, electrical engineering, biomedical applications and a robust supplement for university students and faculty.
