Professor Chennupati Jagadish, Department of Electronic Materials Engineering, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra: "After skimming through the material of all of the five rough draft chapters of the book that I received, I would conclude that the book is well organized and I would also say well written. The coverage is complete to the point of almost being encyclopedic. The material is appropriate for the level of incoming graduate students with specialty in solid state physics, optoelectronic, and nanostructure materials." W.D. Brown, Ph.D., P.E. Associate Dean for Research, University of Arkansas: "Omar's efforts are focused on producing a very much needed textbook. It is obvious to me from his table of contents that he plans to cover all the pertinent subjects in a field that is rapidly changing and of utmost importance in terms of the need to education the next generation of scientists and engineers."
Product Description
This comprehensive text is aimed at graduate level students and researchers, breaking down the complexities of fabrication, use, and maintenance of heterojunctions. Topics include: introduction to quantum mechanics, 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, electrical properties, techniques and measurements, growth issues, devices: Detectors and emitters.
From the Back Cover
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 experimental observation and explanations.
Major topics include:
Introduction to quantum mechanics * Tunneling phenomena * Density of states in low-dimensional systems * Equilibrium, nonequilibrium, ballistic, and coherence transports * Optical properties of interband and intersubband transitions in quantum structures * Excitons * Growth techniques and related issues * Electronic and optoelectronic devices with the emphasis on RTDs, HEMTs, HFETs, SETs, Coulomb blockades, detectors, and lasers.
