Solid-State Physics: Introduction to the Theory
ASIN: 354025370X |
Book Description
The Physics of Semiconductors provides material for a comprehensive upper-level-undergraduate 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.

Nice survey of modern semiconductor science.......2006-11-11
This book is extremely well illustrated. It is a pleasure thumbing through the book and learning something in a new area just by looking at all the diagrams and pictures. However, the discussions of semiconductor devices are pretty sketchy, and formula derivations are mostly non-existent. For example, the book gives expressions for the different mobility limits for ionized impurity and phonon scattering, but does not derive any of them like Seeger would, although references are given. Unlike the Seeger classic, in its 9th edition, where new topics kind of look like they were just thrown in, this book has a more coherent integrated treatment of "new" topics with the older classical topics. If you want in-depth discussions, you will likely be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a broad survey of modern areas of interest in semiconductor physics and technology, with lots of well-chosen figures and diagrams, this is a fine book.
Book Description
The continuous scaling of transistors in the last half of century has been the driving force for electronics. The channel length of the transistors in production today is below 100nm. A wide variety of devices are also being explored to complement or even replace silicon transistors at molecular scales. Similarities between nanoscale and micronscale transistors exist, but nanotransistors also behave in drastically different ways. For example, ballistic transport and quantum effects become much more important. To push MOSFETs to their scaling limits and to explore devices that may complement or even replace them at molecular scale, a clear understanding of device physics at nanometer scale is necessary.
The book provides a description of the recent development of theory, modeling, and simulation of nanotransistors for engineers and scientists working on nanoscale devices. Simple physical pictures and semi-analytical models, which were validated by detailed numerical simulations, are provided for both evolutionary and revolutionary nanotransistors.
Customer Reviews:
Limited Audience.......2007-07-04
This book gets two stars because I estimate 2 out of 5 readers attracted to this title will find what they want. The authors deliberately limit the target audience to those that have mastered S. Datta's two books: "Electronic Conduction in Mesoscopic Systems" and "Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor". In addition, the readers should have assembled a small library of journal articles for "details", particularly those up to 2003 with author Lundstrom as participating author. However, the authors do relent briefly in Chapter 2, which is an undergraduate lecture on MOSFETs and bipolar devices.
The audience is further limited to those that expect band theory to apply to these devices, and an effective mass approximation to band theory at that. Devices tend to be "thermal reservoirs" connected by geometrically ideal bars that confine the electrons. A third "gate" electrode shifts the density of states up or down with the gate voltage. An idealized transmission coefficient treats scattering.
If you are in the target audience you'll be happy with this book. If you want a book that presents theoretical and numerical detail, doesn't require an ancillary library of journal papers, and deals with real boundary dependencies, this book is not it.

reasonable extrapolations of new systems.......2006-03-16
Goser provides an interdisciplinary foray into nanosystems. Ideally, if your background is materials science, engineering or physics, you can pick up some ideas from the text. The physics details are not too abstruse to turn away an engineering reader.
Many of the designs described involve quantum mechanical effects. Quantum wires and dots, for example, that might have novel uses. Attention is also paid to how the new systems might be made. Not just as research efforts, but as practical outputs of a fab.
There is speculation about future systems, as indeed you would expect. But commendably restrained. The extrapolations seem reasonable, given our current abilities.

Book Description
This book presents the statistical theory of complex wave scattering and quantum transport in physical systems which have chaotic classical dynamics, as in the case of microwave cavities and quantum dots, or which possess quenched randomness, as in the case of disordered conductors - with an emphasis on mesoscopic fluctuations. The statistical regularity of the phenomena is revealed in a natural way by adopting a novel maximum-entropy approach. Shannon's information entropy is maximised, subject to the symmetries and constraints which are physically relevant, within the powerful and non-perturbative theory of random matrices; this is a most distinctive feature of the book. Aiming for a self-contained presentation, the quantum theory of scattering, set in the context of quasi-one-dimensional, multichannel systems, and related directly to scattering problems in mesoscopic physics, is introduced in chapters two and three. The linear-response theory of quantum electronic transport, adapted to the context of mesoscopic systems, is discussed in chapter four. These chapters, together with chapter five on the maximum-entropy approach and chapter eight on weak localization, have been written in a most pedagogical style, suitable for use on graduate courses. In chapters six and seven, the problem of electronic transport through classically chaotic cavities and quasi-one-dimensional disordered systems is discussed. Many exercises are included, most of which are worked through in detail, aiding graduate students, teachers, and research scholars interested in the subject of quantum transport through disordered and chaotic systems.
