Bücher von Krzysztof Iniewski

For decades, people have sought to harvest energy from natural sources. Lately, climate change has popularized solar or photovoltaic technology, while piezoelectric technology is being developed to power handheld devices, and thermoelectric technology is being explored to convert wasted engine heat into electricity. Written by experts from academia and industry, Energy Harvesting with Functional Materials and Microsystems presents current research and explains the field from a materials and device perspective, with resulting technologies capable of enabling low-power implantable sensors or large-scale electrical grids.

Gallium nitride (GaN) is a binary III/V direct bandgap semiconductor commonly used in bright light-emitting diodes since the 1990s. Its sensitivity to ionizing radiation is low, making it a suitable material for solar cell arrays for satellites. This book covers GaN from the fundamental physics to the fabrication of devices and circuits that are already foreseen to replace standard silicon or gallium arsenide (GaAs) in many applications.
