A propos de cet article

Paperback. presentation of the classical and quantum free electron theories and their successes and shortcomings (Chapter 23). In order to explain the large differences in the electrical properties of solids as well as the peculiar properties of semiconductors, the existence of allowed and forbidden energy bands is investigated (Chapter 24). In this chapter, we introduce the concepts of the electron effective mass and of holes. Intrinsic and doped semiconductors, their electron and hole densities, and their electrical properties are discussed in Chapter 25. It is now a rather simple matter for the student to understand the behavior and the characteristics of semiconductor devices: diodes, bipolar transistors, field effect transistors, etc. Semiconductor devices are the subject of Chapter 26. The text concludes with two chapters unique to this physics textbook. In Chapter 27, we show how diodes and transistors can be used to construct the logic circuits (gates) that constitute the fundamental building blocks of the computer. Chapter 28 is a layman'S introduction to some of the techniques used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. The laboratory experiments for the first semester are standard in any physics department, and thus we do not feel that is is necessary to include them in this book. presentation of the classical and quantum free electron theories and their successes and shortcomings (Chapter 23).

Synopsis :

Intended for students of computer science and electrical engineering, this text is directed toward teaching the fundamental physics of how a computer works, while at the same time providing a broad and effective one-year introduction to classical and modern physics. The presentation includes many of the topics of a standard introductory physics course as well as the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, multi -electron systems, crystal structure, semiconductor devices, and logic circuits.
