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....
