Defects in Semiconductors 2024
Current technology heavily relies on our ability to detect, control, and understand defects in semiconductors. Whether beneficial or detrimental, defects play crucial roles in various semiconductor materials. Advances in synthesis, thin-film growth, microscopy, spectroscopy, and theory have led to new insights into how defects behave in these materials, improving performance in applications such as silicon chips, photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and quantum information. This Special Topic on Defects in Semiconductors provides a valuable forum where researchers can share their latest and most innovative findings related to the fundamentals of defects in semiconductors.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Silicon, Germanium, Silicon Carbide, and Diamond
- Nitrides and other III-V materials
- Oxides and other chalcogenide semiconductors
- Organic semiconductors and perovskites
- 2D semiconductor materials
- Low-dimensional semiconductor structures
- Defects for quantum information
- Defect-induced electrical, magnetic, thermal, and optical properties
- Theory, computational methods, and experimental methods for characterization and understanding of defects
