The Physics of Semiconductors

The Physics of Semiconductors provides material for a comprehensive upper-level-undergrauate and graduate course on the subject, guiding readers to the point where they can choose a special topic and begin supervised research. The textbook provides a balance between essential aspects of solid-state and semiconductor physics, on the one hand, and the principles of various semiconductor devices and their applications in electronic and photonic devices, on the other. It highlights many practical aspects of semiconductors such as alloys, strain, heterostructures, nanostructures, that are necessary in modern semiconductor research but typically omitted in textbooks. For the interested reader some additional advanced topics are included, such as Bragg mirrors, resonators, polarized and magnetic semiconductors are included. Also supplied are explicit formulas for many results, to support better understanding. The Physics of Semiconductors requires little or no prior knowledge of solid-state physics and evolved from a highy regarded two-semester course at the University of Leipzig.

Autorentext
Professor Dr. Marius Grundmann has studied physics at the Technical University Berlin. He has worked on the epitaxy and the characterization of electronic and optical properties of semiconductor heterostructures and nanostructures and devices made from them. Since 2000 he is professor for experimental physics at the University of Leipzig.

Klappentext
Brings the reader to an overview of the subject as a whole and to the point where they can specialize and enter supervised laboratory research Provides a balance between aspects of solid state and semiconductor physics and the concepts of various semiconductor devices and their applications in electric and photonic devices. Proffers explicit formulas (with the help of Mathematica) for as many as possible results, going beyond current textbook equations, thus makes easier to understand for undergrads.
