TLDR
The group-III sesquioxides possess material properties that render them interesting for applications such as high-power rectifiers and transistors, solar-blind UV detectors and inter-sub-band infrared detectors as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The group-III sesquioxides possess material properties that render them interesting for applications such as high-power rectifiers and transistors, solar-blind UV detectors and inter-sub-band infrared detectors. Technology for growing large, single-crystalline bulk material and for wafer fabrication exists, enabling homoepitaxial growth of thin films with high crystalline quality. The bandgap can be tuned in an energy range from about 4 to 8 eV for the ternary alloys and allows growth of heterostructures with large band offset. Here, past results and recent investigations on the growth, the material properties, contact fabrication and the alloying of group-III sesquioxides are reviewed, and an overview on demonstrator devices is provided.

Zener Model Description of Ferromagnetism in Zinc-Blende Magnetic Semiconductors

TL;DR: Zener's model of ferromagnetism, originally proposed for transition metals in 1950, can explain T(C) of Ga(1-)(x)Mn(x)As and that of its II-VI counterpart Zn(1)-Mn (x)Te and is used to predict materials with T (C) exceeding room temperature, an important step toward semiconductor electronics that use both charge and spin.
