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 first volume "Materials and Technologies" of a three-volume set describes the physical, chemical and electronic properties of II-VI compounds, which give rise to an increased interest in these semiconductors. Technologies that are used in the development of various devices based on II-VI connections, such as material synthesis, deposition, characterization, processing, and device fabrication, are also discussed in detail in this volume. It covers also topics related to synthesis and application of II-VI-based nanoparticles and quantum dots, as well their toxicity, biocompatibility and biofunctionalization. - Consider of both chemical and biosensors and all types of radiation detectors based on II-VI semiconductors; - Feature detailed analysis of all aspects of II-VI semiconductors; - Maximize reader understanding of the present status of II-VI semiconductors and their role in the development of new generation of sensors and radiation detectors; - Stands as an ideal reference for researchers concerned with electronics, optoelectronics, chemical and bio sensors, electrical engineering, biomedical applications and a robust supplement for university students and faculty.
