PREFACE
The Workshop on Physics and Application of Non-crystalline Semiconductors
in Optoelectronics was held from 15 to 17 October 1996 in Chisinau. republic of
Moldova and was devoted to the problems of non-crystalline semiconducting materials.
The reports covered two mjlin topics: theoretical basis of physics of non -crystalline
materials and experimental results.
In the framework of these major topics there were treated many subjects.
concerning the physics of non-crystalline semiconductors and their specific
application:
-optical properties of non-crystalline semiconductors;
- doping of glassy semiconductors and photoinduced effects in chalcogenide glasses
and their application for practical purposes;
-methods for investigation of the structure in non-crystalline semiconductors
-new glassy materials for IR trasmittance and optoelectronics.
Reports and communications were presented on various aspects of the theory.
new physical principles. studies of the atomic structure. search and development of
optoelectronics devices. Special attention was paid to the actual subject of
photoinduced transformations and its applications.
Experimental investigations covered a rather wide spectrum of materials and
physical phenomena. As a novel item it is worth to mention the study of nonlinear
optical effects in amorphous semiconducting films. The third order optical non
linearities. fast photoinduced optical absorption and refraction. acusto-optic effects
recently discovered in non-crystalline semiconductors could potentially be utilised for
optical signal processing. The important problems of photoinduced structural
transformations and related phenomena. which are very attractive and actual both from
the scientific and practical points of view. received much attention in discussions at the
conference.
Considerable attention was also given to technical applications of the
photoinduced phenomena in optoelectronics. applications and devices development
based on non crystalline semiconductors with the focus on optoelectronics. Optical and
photoelectrical information storage media. high resolution lithography. optical
diffraction elements. optoelectronic parts and circuits can be based on the photoinduced
structural transformation phenomena.
In conclusion the workshop showed that non-crystalline semiconductors
represent an important class of semiconductors. which have large potentialities for
optolectronics and the most significative advances were discussed. The present book
contains the proceedings of the conference.
Before concluding on behalf of all participants and guests of the Workshop. of
all Chisinau organizers. we would like to express our deep and sincere gratitude to
NATO Scientific Affairs Division for financial support without which the Workshop in
Chisinau would have never taken place.
