Advanced Semiconductors under Extreme Pressure Conditions -- 5. Morphology-Dependent Properties in Inorganic Semiconductors.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents comprehensive reviews on the synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of advanced semiconducting materials. It explores modern inorganic, organic, and hybrid semiconductors, and semiconductor physics through density functional theory. Topics include morphology-dependent properties in inorganic semiconductors, and methods for tuning the electron transport properties of nanotube semiconductors. Readers will also find discussions on earth-abundant and environmentally friendly chalcogenide nanomaterials for photovoltaics, the use of chalcogenides and oxide semiconductors in photoelectrochemical reactions, and insights into defect formation during ion implantation in diamond and c-BN thin films. A thermomechanical response model for photothermal diffusion waves in rotating magnetized semiconductors is also presented. This book provides readers with a solid foundation in recent developments and current technologies for producing and characterizing semiconductors, as well as theoretical and



computational tools.

Sommario/riassunto

This collection enriches and complicates the history of prose fiction between Richardson and Fielding at mid-century and Austen at the turn of the century by focusing on it-narratives, a once popular form largely forgotten by readers and critics alike. The volume also advances important work on eighteenth-century consumer culture and the theory of things. The essays that comprise The Secret Life of Things thus bring new texts, and new ways of thinking about familiar ones, to our notice. Those essays range from the role of it-narratives in period debates about copyright to their complex relationship with object-riddled sentimental fictions, from anti-semitism in Chrysal to jingoistic imperialism in The Adventures of a Rupee, from the it-narrative as a variety of whore's biography to a consideration of its contributions to



an emergent middle-class ideology.
