G-Factors For Ternary Crystals Of Groups Iii And V, Liviu Mateescu May 2011

G-Factors For Ternary Crystals Of Groups Iii And V, Liviu Mateescu

Theses

The objective of this thesis is to present a method of calculating the g-factors of ternary crystals of III-V group elements.

There is an increasing interest in knowing the magnetic behavior of different semiconductor materials, due to advances in the domain of spintronics. The g-factors were calculated for the conduction electrons, since they have the greatest contribution to the magnetic properties of the crystal. The thesis presented here proposes a method to calculate the magnetic g-factor of whole families of crystals made of three elements, of the form A1-xBxC, for eleven values, x ε {0, 0.1, …
