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 Dingles 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. Key Features\* Available for the first time in a new, expanded version\* Provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals and fascinating applications of quantized semiconductor structures Content: Front Matter, Page iii Copyright, Page iv Foreword, Pages ix-x Preface, Pages xi-xii CHAPTER I - Introduction, Pages 1-9 CHAPTER II - The Electronic Properties of Thin Semiconductor Heterostructures, Pages 11-55 CHAPTER III - Optical Properties of Thin Heterostructures, Pages 57-100 CHAPTER IV - Electrical Properties of Thin Heterostructures, Pages 101-139 CHAPTER V - Applications of Quantum Semiconductor Structures, Pages 141-187 CHAPTER VI - Towards 1D and 0D Physics and Devices, Pages 189-215 Selected Bibliography, Pages 217-246 Index, Pages 247-252
