Semiconductor Heterojunctions and Nanostructures is aimed at graduate level students and researchers, breaking down the complexities of fabrication, use, and maintenance of heterojunctions.
Semiconductor Heterojunctions and Nanostructures features clear coverage of:
- basics of 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 experimental observation and explanations.
