Compound semiconductors have long been an integral part of everyday
life. Recent progress on their potential as emitters, sensing
devices in biological and chemical environments, and
high-efficiency power devices demonstrates their impact on energy
and environment. Compound-semiconductor-based photovoltaic systems
are emerging as an economical means of generating renewable energy
through the use of concentrator technologies. However, while
solid-state lighting devices have shown energy-saving and
environmental benefits, much still needs to be done to realize
their full potential. This book contains reports from
internationally known experts on the state of
compound-semiconductor-based devices with application in
environmental conservation and energy saving challenges. Topics
include: compound semiconductors for PV applications; compound
semiconductors for lighting; compound semiconductors for lighting,
power and sensing; compound semiconductors for energy; compound
semiconductors for sensing; and materials growth and
characterization. An appendix, with select papers from Symposium S,
Materials in Photocatalysis and Photochemistry for Environmental
Applications and H2 Generation, is also included in the book.
Symposium D, 'Compound Semiconductors for Energy Applications and
Environmental Sustainability', was held at the 2011 MRS Spring
Meeting April 25-29 in San Francisco, California. Compound
semiconductors have long been an integral part of everyday life.
Many of these semiconductors exhibit direct band gaps that are
tailorable over a wide range of energy. This property can be
leveraged for many energy-related applications such as efficient
lighting, high-efficiency solar cells and efficient switching.
Recent progress on their potential as emitters, sensing devices in
biological and chemical environments, and high-efficiency power
devices demonstrates their impact on conservation of energy and
environment and on mitigation of climate change. This volume
contains reports from internationally-known experts on the state of
compound semiconductor-based devices with applications to
environmental conservation and energy use reduction, challenges
associated with realization of such devices and obstacles to their
widespread use.
