Opis

This work focuses on different magnetic resonance (MR) methods and their applications in solids, like semiconductors and nanostructures. Techniques and combinations thereof are explained and used to analyze defects in semiconductors and nanostructures. Presented for the first time are novelties such as single defects MR as well as state-of-art high-frequency pulse methods: EPR, ODMR, ENDOR. An overview of MR methods currently used to study defects, such as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) is provided. Problems existing in semiconductor and nanotechnology sciences which are resolved by MR are given. The past and current state and perspectives of application of MR are provided with emphasis on advances in MR methods. Intended for researchers in MR studies of semiconductors and nanostructures wanting a comprehensive review of what has been done in their and related fields of studies as well as future perspectives.

Blurb

This book explains different magnetic resonance (MR) techniques and uses different combinations of these techniques to analyze defects in semiconductors and nanostructures. It also introduces novelties such as single defects MR and electron-paramagnetic-resonance-based methods: electron spin echo, electrically detected magnetic resonance, optically detected magnetic resonance and electron-nuclear double resonance – the designated tools for investigating the structural and spin properties of condensed systems, living matter, nanostructures and nanobiotechnology objects. Further, the authors address problems existing in semiconductor and nanotechnology sciences that can be resolved using MR, and discuss past, current and future applications of MR, with a focus on advances in MR methods.

The book is intended for researchers in MR studies of semiconductors and nanostructures wanting a comprehensive review of what has been done in their own and related fields of study, as well as future perspectives.
