Synopsis

This work attempts to encapsulate the fundamental quantum processes of importance to the physics and technology of semiconductors. This new edition is expanded by the addition of three chapters: quantum processes in a magnetic field, scattering in a degenerate gas and dynamic screening. The author has taken the opportunity to correct and update other sections. As with the first edition the text restricts its attention to bulk semiconductors. Nineteen new line drawings have been added to this edition. This text may be a useful reference for workers in the field and for p ostgraduates.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book encapsulates the fundamental quantum processes of importance in the physics and technology of semiconductors in a relatively informal style that has been found to be attractive for graduate courses. This fourth edition is expanded by the addition of new chapters on quantum transport, semi-classical transport and space-charge waves, extending the discussion to statistical, many-particle behaviour in transport phenomena. The author has also taken the opportunity to update other sections. As with previous editions the text restricts its attention to bulk semiconductors. The account traces the path from quantum processes describable by density matrices, through the semi-classical Boltzmann equation and its solutions, to the drift-diffusion description of space-charge waves, the latter appearing in the contexts of negative differential resistance, acoustoelectric and recombination instabilities. Besides being a useful reference for workers in the field, this book will be a valuable text for graduate courses.
