SUMMARY

The experimental data are presented in the monograph about physical properties of compound semiconductor crystals and operation fundamentals of new class optoelectronic devices - polarimetric detectors .

The wide scope of semiconductor crystals with anisotropic structure considered here includes the binary compounds II-VI, II-V₂, II₂-V₃ and III-VI, the well-known ternary compounds II-IV-V₂, I-III-VI₂, the novel ternary compounds with a magnetic ion Mn-III₂-VI₄ that being analogs of II-III₂-VI₄ materials, and also some quaternary compounds and solid solutions. Semiconductor Materials Science of the compound crystals spans Physics, Chemistry, Technology with an emphasis to optical, optoelectronic properties and applications. The physical parameters and performance attributes of the new polarimetric devices made of the anisotropic crystals are described in details and the device prospects in Semiconductor Optoelectronics are surveyed.

This book is intended for specialists in Physics, Chemistry and Technology of new semiconductor materials, and for pre-doctoral and pre-graduate students of corresponding specialties at Highest Schools.
