an industry that has been estimated by some to have the potential to exceed $1.7 Trillion in sales worldwide (per annum) by the year 2017. , Semiconductors are the active electronic materials that are present within electron devices. A great deal of progress in electronics has been achieved through an understanding of the basic material properties of the semiconductors used within such devices. The proposed research aims to deepen our understanding of this class of materials and to explore the possible device applications. Specifically
