| Research Abstract |
The physical properties of semiconductors are governed by defects, and those of layered materials by their interfaces. This study investigates the possibility of constructing nanostructures embedded inside a bulk semiconductor. Main results include (1) a novel theory of defect clusters, (2) a theory of quasi-1D Cr chains embedded in ZnTe for the purpose of making the entire bulk magnetic, and (3) a nanostructured material based on metal precipitates in an insulator material is proposed as a solar cell material.
