Three-volumes book "Handbook of II-VI Semiconductor-Based Sensors and Radiation Detectors" is the first to cover both chemical sensors and biosensors and all types of photodetectors and radiation detectors based on II-VI semiconductors. It contains a comprehensive and detailed analysis of all aspects of the application of II-VI semiconductors in these devices. The second volume "Photodetectors" of a three-volume set, focus on the consideration of all types of optical detectors, including IR detectors, visible and UV photodetectors. This consideration includes both the fundamentals of the operation of detectors and the peculiarities of their manufacture and use. In particular, describes numerous strategies for their fabrication and characterization. An analysis of new trends in development of II-VI semiconductors-based photodetectors such as graphene/HgCdTe-, nanowire- and quantum dot-based photodetectors, as well as solution-processed, multicolor, flexible and self-powered photodetectors, are also given.
About the Author: Dr. Ghenadii Korotcenkov is Chief Scientific Researcher, Moldova State University, Chisinau, Moldova.
Doctor Hubilitate Ghenadii Korotcenkov has more than 50 years of research experience in the field of materials science and the development and research of various devices based on semiconductor materials. Until 1995 he studied Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and various photoreceivers based on III-Vs compounds such as InP, GaP, AlGaAs, and InGaAs. His current research interests since 1995 include material sciences, focusing on metal oxide film deposition and characterization (In2O3, SnO2, ZnO, TiO2), surface science, thermoelectric conversion, and design of physical and chemical sensors, including thin film gas sensors.
