This substantially revised second edition of the Quantum Theory of the Optical and Electronic Properties of Semiconductors presents the basic elements needed to understand and engage in research in semiconductor physics. In this edition misprints have been corrected and new and more detailed material has been added. In order to treat the valence-band structure of semiconductors, an introduction to the k.p theory and the related description in terms of the Luttinger Hamiltonian was included. An introductory chapter on mesoscopic semiconductor structures was added which discusses the envelope function approximation and the modification caused by the spatial quantum confinement. In many chapters the results are developed in parallel first for bulk material, and then for quasi-two-dimensional quantum wells, and for quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires. Semiconductor quantum dots are treated in a separate chapter.
The discussion of time-dependent and coherent phenomena in semiconductors has been considerably extended by including a section dealing with the theoretical description of photon echoes in semiconductors. After the discussion of semiconductor laser physics, optical bistability, and electroabsorption in semiconductors, a new chapter on magneto-absorption has been added, in which magneto-excitons and magneto-plasmas in two-dimensional systems are discussed. The chapter on electron kinetics due to the interaction with longitudinal-optical phonons has been extended and a discussion on carrier-carrier collisions has been added to the chapter dealing with the semiconductor bloch equations. The material is presented in sufficient detail for graduate students and researchers who have a general background in quantum mechanics.

Review:
"One of the remarkable successes of Haug and Koch's book is the selection and the presentation of the material. The authors extract a limited number of main physical points, emphasize common features in the different phenomena and offer a unified approach and an adequately formal treatment, without overwhelming the reader with calculational details. The authors succeed in presenting the material in a rigorous but simple and elegant form, within the framework of a mathematically standard quantum mechanical approach."
From Scientific American:
"... I consider this book a useful and opportune monograph. Several problems are given at the end of each chapter, making this monograph a really effective textbook. I would like to recommend it as required reading for graduate students and researchers who intend to enter semiconductor physics and technology." -- Leonid V Keldysh, Physics Today, 1994
"The coverage of the book is broad and the style is very economical ... gives a good account of well established theoretical ideas and is an excellent starting point for any theorist new to the field."
