Présentation de l'éditeur

Electronic excitation is a means to change materials properties. This book analyses the important features of the changes induced by electronic excitation, identifies what is critical, and provides a basis from which materials modification can be developed successfully. Electronic excitation by lasers or electron beams can change the properties of materials. In the last few years, there has been a mix of basic science, of new laser and electron beam tools, and of new needs from microelectronics, photonics and nanotechnology. This book extends and synthesises the science, addressing ideas like energy localisation and charge localisation, with detailed comparisons of experiment and theory. It also identifies the ways this understanding links to technological needs, like selective removal of material, controlled changes, altering the balance between process steps, and possibilities of quantum control. This book will be of particular interest to research workers in physics, chemistry, electronic engineering and materials science.

Revue de presse

'What are the essential characteristics of this book? First, it is right up to date and accurate; second, it is interestingly written with all basic concepts at least mentioned. Last, but not least, the book shows how important the co-working of theory and experiement is. Without both of these our understanding of science would be very much lacking.' Materials Today

'This book will be of particular interest to research workers in physics, chemistry, electronic engineering and material science. It is excellent also from the side of print and design. The price looks high, but it is at the same time an educational book, a handbook, as well as a reference tool.' Optik
