coefficient of thermal expansion: coefficient de dilatation thermique
Coefficient measuring the relative increase in volume of a semiconductor when the temperature is varied.
conductivité thermique: thermal conductivity
Physical quantity characterizing the behavior of semiconductors during conduction heat transfer. It represents the energy (quantity of heat) transferred per unit area and time under a temperature gradient of 1 K.m -1 .
wurtzite crystal structure; wurtzite crystal structure
Crystal structure of many binary compounds belonging to the hexagonal crystal system and which is non-centrosymmetrical (without central symmetry). Wurtzite-type crystals generally possess properties such as piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity....
