Book Description
This book discusses the theory of the electron states of transition metal impurities in semiconductors in connection with the general theory of isoelectronic impurities. It contains brief descriptions of the experimental data available for transition metal impurities belonging to iron, palladium and platinum groups and for rare-earth impurities in elemental semiconductors (III-IV, II-VI and IV-VI compounds) and in several oxide compounds (Ti2, BaTiO3, SrTiO3). Also included are applications of the theory to the optical, electrical and resonance properties of semiconductors doped by the transition metal impurities.The book presents a theory unifying previously proposed ligand-field and band descriptions of transition metal impurities. It describes the theory in the context of the general theory of neutral impurities in semiconductors and demonstrates the capabilities of this description to explain the basic experimental properties of semiconductors doped by transition metal impurities. A detailed discussion of various experimental results and their theoretical interpretation is carried out.This book comprises three parts. The first two parts consider several exactly solvable models and describe numerical techniques. All the models and simulations constitute a general pattern describing transition metal and rare-earth impurities in semiconductors. The final part uses this theory in order to address various experimentally observed properties of these systems.

Book Description
The study of impurities and defects in semiconductors is of fundamental interest and is important for technological applications. This monograph is a first attempt to generalise experimental data and theoretical interpretation about the nature and behaviour of impurity atoms of transition metals in semiconductors. The nature of impurities and changes in their electronic structure are analysed. The molecualr orbital approach is followed extensively in the theoretical interpretation, with particular emphasis on crystal field splitting, electron paramagnetic resonance and optical absorption spectoscopies. Coverage of experimental data is extensive with more the 300 references to the literature. This is a translation of a Russian text published in 1983. The authors have updated the content for the English language edition. This book will be of interest to scientists and engineers in solid state physics and chemistry, materials science and electronic engineering. It should also be useful for postgraduate students in these fields.

Book Description
This up-to-date monograph provides a thorough review of the relevant data and properties of the transition-metal impurities generated during silicon-sample and device fabrication. The different mechanisms responsible for contamination are discussed, and a survey is given of their impact on device performance. The specific properties of the main and rare impurities in silicon are examined, as well as the detection methods and requirements in modern technology. This new edition includes important recent data and many new tables.
