Structural and magnetic disorder in crystalline materials
Disorder in crystalline materials can take different forms and originate from different sources. In particular, temperature introduces disorder in any kind of material. This can be observed as the appearance of vacant lattice sites in an otherwise perfect crystal, or as a random distribution of different elements on the same lattice in an alloy; at the same time, if the material is magnetic, temperature induces disorder also on the magnetic degrees of freedom. In this thesis, different levels of disorder associated to structure and magnetism are investigated by means of density functional theory and thermodynamic models. I start with diffusion of Ti vacancies in TiN, which is studied by mean...

Hydrogen in Semiconductors II
Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The "Willardson and Beer" Series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in publishing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribut...

Quantum Efficiency in Complex Systems
Summary: Radiationless transfer of excitation energy is at the hear of many processes in quantum physics, chemistry and nanotechnology. Currently, the standard picture of an incoherent Förster resonant excitation transfer is being challenged by the experimental findings of a long-lived quantum mechanical coherence in biomolecular light harvesting complexes. The role of this in molecular aggregates is addressed in the first part of this volume. Utilizing some of the underlying principles to optimize nano scale devices, the second part addresses systems of colloid quantum dots and polymer based organic solar cells.
Electronic Structure
This book is the second volume in the Handbook of Surface Science series and deals with aspects of the electronic structure of surfaces as investigated by means of the experimental and theoretical methods of physics. The importance of understanding surface phenomena stems from the fact that for many physical and chemical phenomena, the surface plays a key role: in electronic, magnetic, and optical devices, in heterogenous catalysis, in epitaxial growth, and the application of protective coatings, for example. Therefore a better understanding and, ultimately, a predictive description of surface and interface properties is vital for the progress of modern technology. An investigation of surface electronic structure is also central to our understanding of all aspects of surfaces from a fundamental point of view. The chapters presented here review the goals achieved in the field and map out the challenges ahead, both in experiment and theory.
