چکیده
Semiconductor photonic devices such as laser diodes, light-emitting diodes, optical waveguides, directional couplers, electrooptic modulators, and photodetectors have important applications in lightwave technology systems. To understand the physics and the operational characteristics of these photonic devices, we have to understand the fundamental principles. In this chapter, we review some of the basic concepts of semiconductor electronics, provide a brief history of the invention of semiconductor lasers and light-emitting diodes, review the general field of optoelectronics, then present the overview of this book.

The Mg(BiO2)2 is the orthorhombic crystal system acting as semiconductor in electric devices. To evaluate electronic band structures, the total density of state (TDOS) and the partial density of state (PDOS), Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) based on the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE0) was used for Mg(BiO2)2. The band gap was recorded at 0.959 eV, which is supported by a good semiconducto...

The complex bonding environment of many ternary Zintl phases, which often results in low thermal conductivity, makes them strong contenders as thermoelectric materials. Here, we extend the investigation of A5In2Sb6 Zintl compounds with the Ca5Ga2As6 crystal structure to the only known rareearth analogue: Eu5In2Sb6. Zn-doped samples with compositions of Eu5In2 xZnxSb6 (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0...
