Synopsis: Comprehensive reference on the use of single-element semiconductor materials, such as carbon, silicon, and others, in modern electronic devices Single Element Semiconductors discusses the preparation, properties, and applications of single-element semiconductor materials in modern electronic devices. Special attention is paid to the nanostructures which show great potential in the fields of energy, electronics, and sensing due to their unique physicochemical properties. Written by a highly qualified team of researchers, Single Element Semiconductors includes information on: Properties and fabrication of carbon nanomaterials, germanium, borophene, stanene, arsenene, and antimoneneSynthesis, self-assembly, and in-plane epitaxy of horizontal silicon nanowiresBlue, black, and violet phosphorus and the controlled synthesis of tellurium nanomaterialsMost suitable applications for each element semiconductor, including in photodetectors, solar cells, batteries, biomedical sensors, and photocatalysis Single Element Semiconductors is an ideal reference for researchers and engineers seeking to advance the research and application development of single-element semiconductor materials.
