III-V Ternary Semiconducting Compounds-Data Tables

The Electronic Prope~ties Information Cente~ has developed the Data Table as a compilation of the most ~eliable info~mation available fo~ the physical c~ystallog~aphic mechanical thermal elect~onic magnetic and optical p~ope~ties of a given mate~ial. Data Tables forme~ly se~ved as an int~oduction to the g~aphic data compilations on the mate~ial published by the Elect~onic ~ope~ties Information Cente~ EPIC as Data Sheets. Although the Data Sheets we~e p~incipally concerned according to the scope of the Cente~ with electronic and optical data it is believed that data cove~ing the complete p~ope~ty spect~um is of the f~st impo~tance to eve~y scientist and engineer whateve~ his information requi~ements. The enthusiastic ~eception of these Data Tables has confi~med this opinion and increasing requests fo~ this highly selective type of information ~esulted in the publication of volume 2 in this se~ies III-V Semiconducting Compounds in 1971 and G~oup IV Semiconducting Compounds also in 1971. Recent inte~est in the device applications of the te~n~y semiconducto~s led to the compilation of these Data Tables on the III-V Te~n~y Semiconducting Compounds. The majo~ problem in this type of selective data compilation on a semiconducting mate~ial lies in the mate~ial specifications. Prope~ties may va~y so widely with doping c~stallinity defects geometric forms and the othe~ pa~amete~s of p~epa~ation that any attempts at comparison normally fail. On this basis we have consistently attempted to give the p~epa~ation methods ca~rier concent~ations and physical form.
