Abstract

This monograph presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of binary and ternary crystalline and glassy silicon tellurides. It provides a detailed description of the methods for synthesizing and growing bulk and nanostructured binary crystals of Si2Te3, SiTe2, and ternary crystals known in the M-Si-Te systems (M = Na, K, Cu, Ag, Al, In), as well as sodium-silicon and tellurium-silicon clathrates. Significant attention is paid to the results of investigations into their electronic structure, optical, electrical, photoelectric, and photoluminescent properties.The publication is intended for researchers and specialists in the fields of semiconductor materials science, physics, and semiconductor technology, as well as lecturers, postgraduate students, and students of relevant specialties.
