Light-Induced Defects in Semiconductors

Kazuo Morigaki is professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He received his PhD in physics from Osaka University, Japan, in 1959. His current areas of interest are light-induced phenomena and electronic states of defects in amorphous and microcrystalline silicon. Harumi Hikita is professor at the Physics Laboratory, Mekai University, Japan. He received his PhD in physics from Tokai University, Japan, in 1993. His current interests focus on light-induced phenomena and hydrogen motion in hydrogenated amorphous silicon. Chisato Ogihara is associate professor at the Department of Applied Physics, Yamaguchi University, Japan. He received his PhD in physics from University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1988. His current research focuses on photoluminescence and light-induced creation of defects in hydrogenated amorphous silicon.
