Quantum Semiconductor Structures: Fundamentals and Applications

In its original form, this widely acclaimed primer on the fundamentals of quantized semiconductor structures was published as an introductory chapter in Raymond Dingle's edited volume (24) of Semiconductors and Semimetals. Having already been praised by reviewers for its excellent coverage, this material is now available in an updated and expanded "student edition." This work promises to become a standard reference in the field. It covers the basics of electronic states as well as the fundamentals of optical interactions and quantum transport in two-dimensional quantized systems. This revised student edition also includes entirely new sections discussing applications and one-dimensional and zero-dimensional systems.

This work promises to become a standard reference in the field of quantum semiconductor structures. It provides a guided tour through the subject for students and instructors of solid-state physics, applied physics, and electrical engineering as well as researchers and technicians. Revised and expanded from its original appearance in Semiconductors & Semimetals, Volume 24, this new student edition provides a detailed introduction to the principles and applications of low-dimensional systems and their device applications. These systems form the basis for whole new families of novel physical systems as well as electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices with unsurpassed capabilities.|This work promises to become a standard reference in the field of quantum semiconductor structures.
