“Potential” is the word that first comes to my mind in thinking about the field of amorphous semiconductors. The field is potentially very large because of the wide range of phenomena and materials it encompasses. The phenomena lend themselves to a multitude of potential technological applications (see box). What I am concerned with here, however, is the challenge offered by amorphous semiconductors to our theoretical understanding.
