Helmut Sitter Libri

Molecular Beam Epitaxy explores the advanced techniques and principles of a method used for growing thin films of semiconductors and other materials with high precision. The book delves into the fundamental physics, engineering aspects, and various applications of this technology in electronics and optoelectronics. It also discusses the latest developments and future trends in the field, making it a valuable resource for researchers and professionals seeking to understand the complexities and innovations in material science and nanotechnology.

This book deals with basic aspects of polymer electronics and optoelectronics. There is an enormous world-wide effort both in basic scientific research as well as in industrial development in the area of organic electronics. It is becoming increasingly clear that, if devices based on organic materials are ever going to have a significant relevance beyond being a cheap replacement for inorganic semiconductors, there will be a need to understand interface formation, film growth and functionality. A control of these aspects will allow the realisation of totally new device concepts exploiting the enormous flexibility inherent in organic chemistry. In this book we focus on oligomeric/molecular films as we believe that the control of molecular structures and interfaces provides highly defined systems which allow, on the one hand the study of the basic physics and on the other hand to find the important parameters necessary to improve organic devices.
