Silicon, Germanium, and Their Alloys [PDF ebook] 
Growth, Defects, Impurities, and Nanocrystals

Despite the vast knowledge accumulated on silicon, germanium, and their alloys, these materials still demand research, eminently in view of the improvement of knowledge on silicon-germanium alloys and the potentialities of silicon as a substrate for high-efficiency solar cells and for compound semiconductors and the ongoing development of nanodevic
