Diluted magnetic semiconductors
We review the physical properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) of the type AII1−xMnxBVI (e.g., Cd1−xMnxSe, Hg1−xMnxTe). Crystallographic properties are discussed fir...
Electronic properties of two-dimensional systems
The electronic properties of inversion and accumulation layers at semiconductor-insulator interfaces and of other systems that exhibit two-dimensional or quasi-two-dimensional b...
<i>Ab initio</i>calculation of phonon dispersions in II-VI semiconductors
The vibrational properties of ZnSe, ZnTe, CdSe, and CdTe are determined by density-functional perturbation theory. To this end we have generalized this method so as to explicitl...
