ISBN: 0071452281 ISBN-13: 9780071452281 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies OUR PRICE: $192.85 Product Type: Hardcover Published: May 2005 Annotation: Written by a respected investigator with extensive experience in optoelectronic properties of semiconductors, quantum structures, nanostructures, and related devices, this rigorous text comprehensively untangles the complexities of III-V semiconductor nanostructures starting from the bulk materials and ending with self-assembled quantum dots. Omar Manasreh's "Semiconductor Heterojunctions and Nanostructures" explains the underlying physics of heterojunctions, quantum wells, quantum dots, and related electronic and optoelectronic devices. The textbook is constructed for two courses; an introductory graduate/undergraduate senior course and an advance graduate course. While the book is primarily a graduate text, it can be used for short courses as well as a reference for newcomers and advanced researchers in the field of semiconductor nanostructures. This text features clear, readable coverage of: An introduction to quantum mechanics Electrical and transport properties Potential barriers and wells Electronic energy levels in periodic potentials Tunneling through potential barriers Distribution functions and density of states Optical properties of interband and intersubband transitions Growth technologies: Bulk, thin films, and nanostructures Electronic and optoelectronic devices: HBTs, HEMTs or MODFETs, HFETs, SETs and Coulomb blockade, infrared detectors, LEDs, edge-emitting lasers, VCSELs, quantum cascade lasers, and quantum dot lasers Additionally, the contents include comprehensive step-by-step theoretical derivations needed to understand many advanced concepts of the ever changing field of nanostructures. Many properties of quantum structures are supported by experimentalobservation and explanations. Major topics include: |
