The story of amorphous silicon

This book is devoted to theoretical investigations of the relationship between morphology, single-electron spectrum, and optical properties of polycrystalline and spatially non-homogeneous amorphous semiconductors. Experimental and historical backgrounds of such investigations are considered in a brief introductory overview.
