Abstract

In this contribution I review some of the salient results obtained on periodic multilayer structures made from amorphous semiconductors by the method of plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition. Emphasis is placed on evidence for quantum size effects in heterostructures, on the carrier recombination kinetics in amorphous doping superlattices, and on phonon diffraction phenomena.
