Books By Naci Balkan, Ayse Erol - Author

Naci Balkan was in semiconductor research from 1975, when he started his PhD at the University of Glasgow to his death on June 26, 2015. At the time of his PhD, his main interest was in the field of amorphous semiconductors, in particular, Ge and Si grown with thermal evaporation or RF sputtering. He continued with research in amorphous semiconductors until 1983 and published widely on low frequency AC loss in amorphous Si and Ge. Between 1980 and 1983, he worked as a lecturer at Hacettepe, and Bogazici universities in Turkey. He joined the semiconductors group at Essex as a senior research officer in 1984, where his research interests moved to hot-electron transport, optical spectroscopy and instabilities in low dimensional III-V material systems such as GaAs/ GaAlAs and GaInAs/GaAs quantum wells. In 1990, he became a lecturer and established his own research group in semiconductor materials and devices. The application of hot-electrons in optoelectronic devices became the focal point of his intere
