"Six contributed chapters describe the key properties of emerging semiconductor materials systems with exciting potential..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 2 June 2001)"Anyone working with these materials will find the up-to-date information summarized in this handbook extremely useful and handy...this handbook has the potential to become on of the most cited reference books in upcoming years." (MRS Bulletin, September 2001)
