A Technical Analysis of Gallium-Based Electronics By way of introduction to my review, Pearton et al. comment: "Group III-V nitrides offer a valuable combination of electrical, optical, and piezoelectric behavior, and enable the fabrication of LEDs, LDs, detectors, and transistors." (p. 13). GaN technology has a bright future, and enjoys a variety of applications (p. 213), including military ones (p. 166).
This modest-sized volume not only discusses gallium-based devices, but also ones that include germanium, indium, and other elements. The rare earth elements also come into play. For instance, there is mention of Gd-Ga-garnet (p. 318), various gadolinium oxides, etc.
This book requires a strong background in the subject at hand to appreciate fully. It is loaded with graphs and equations.
