Semiconductor science and technology is the art of defect engineering. The theoretical modeling of defects has improved dramatically over the past decade. These

This book surveys the theory of defects in solids, concentrating on the electronic structure of point defects in insulators and semiconductors. The relations be

This volume, number 91 in the Semiconductor and Semimetals series, focuses on defects in semiconductors. Defects in semiconductors help to explain several pheno

From its early beginning before the war, the field of semiconductors has developped as a classical example where the standard approximations of 'band theory' ca

This volume presents a coherent and detailed description of the field, and brings together leaders in theoretical research. The book discusses today's state-of-
