| Abstract | "This comprehensive book grew out of Alan Owens' previous publication, Compound Semiconductor Radiation Detectors (2002, CRC Press). It is completely updated and expanded and serves as a self-contained compendium examining all types of semiconductors and how they can be used in radiation detection applications. It also explores the new generation of compound semiconductors that are now becoming viable competitors to the elemental semiconductors, silicon and germanium. This book is suitable for graduate students and established researchers in this and related fields"-- Provided by publisher. |
