A definitive treatise for the phenomenon of composition modulation as presently understood. The book covers the ground of the state-of-the-art of composition modulation rather thoroughly: in terms of the composition modulation phenomena that are presently known to exist, the experiments by which these phenomena are being probed, and the various approaches to theoretical treatment of composition modulation. All the interdisciplinary research on this new and active field is involved.
Dr. Angelo Mascarenhas is one of the pioneers in the area of spontaneous ordering, phase separation, and spontaneous composition modulation in semiconductor alloys. His judgement is not only authoritative, but one that understands the relative importance of spontaneous modulation within "the greater picture" of semiconductor alloys generally. He managed to gather around a first-rate team of excellent authors, are all authorities in their respective branches.
