Introduction to Bismuth Oxyhalides -- Microstructure, Morphology and Surface Structure of Bismuth Oxyhalides -- Band Structure Band Energy and Density of States -- Optical Properties of Bismuth Oxyhalides -- Preparation Techniques and Crystal Growth Processes -- Modified Bismuth Oxyhalide Semiconductors -- Applications of Bismuth Oxyhalides -- Future Prospects of Bismith Oxyhalides.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of a series of bismuth oxyhalide compounds of BiOX (X=F, Cl, Br, I), in terms of their microstructure, electronic/band structure, preparation techniques, optical properties and their applications. The book brings together, for the first time, a compilation of advances in this area, including results achieved at the authors’ lab (such as ultra-microscopy characterization by means of aberration-corrected STEM), offering a valuable guide for researchers and students alike..
