Synopsis
With three new chapters, revisions, updated material and numerous new additions and sections, this text encapsulates the fundamental quantum processes that are important to the physics and technology of semiconductors. The subject matter therefore focuses on electronic processes, and as with the first edition, the book restricts attention to bulk semiconductors. The theoretical level is at elementary first and second-order perturbation theory. The three new chapters discuss quantum processes in a magnetic field, scattering in a degenerate gas, and dynamic screening. Besides being a useful reference for workers in the field, this text will be valued for use in postgraduate courses.

Review
"A textbook and reference for graduate students and researchers that sets out the fundamental quantum processes that are important in the physics and technology of semiconductors. Limiting his coverage to bulk semiconductors as in the previous editions beginning in 1982, Ridley (physics, U. of Essex) here augments the 1993 edition with new chapters to provide a deeper foundation for the quantum processes described, and a statistical bridge to phenomena involving charge transport. He also updates many of the existing topics."--SciTech Book News
"This new edition covers the material included in the earlier editions, supplemented by sections on mixed and entangled quantum states treated by a single particle density matrix method; more on the use of the Boltzmann equation and on transport phenomena; and further treatment of hot-electron phenomena. The main aim of the book is to interpret theoretical quantum phenomena for graduate experimental solid-state physicists."--Aslib Book Guide
