Synopsis

Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Structures offers a seamless, atoms-to-devices introduction to the latest quantum heterostructures. It covers their fabrication; electronic, optical, and transport properties; role in exploring new physical phenomena; and utilization in devices. The authors describe the epitaxial growth of semiconductors and the physical behavior of electrons and phonons in low-dimensional structures. They then go on to discuss nonlinear optics in quantum heterostructures. The final chapters deal with semiconductor lasers, mesoscopic devices, and high-speed heterostructure devices. The book contains many exercises and comprehensive references.

About this title

Book Description

These days, the development of new semiconductor devices seems to be limited only by the imagination of the designer. This book provides a seamless, atoms-to-devices introduction to the latest quantum heterostructures. It covers their fabrication, their electronic, optical, and transport properties, their role in exploring new physical phenomena, and their utilisation in devices. It also contains many exercises and references. It is an ideal textbook for graduate-level courses in electrical engineering and applied physics and will also be of interest to engineers involved in the development of new semiconductor devices.
