This textbook, written by John H. Davies from the University of Glasgow, covers the principles of low-dimensional semiconductors. It is intended for beginning master’s students and advanced undergraduate students in physics and electrical engineering. The focus is on the analysis of low-dimensional systems and their practical applications.
Contents
The book describes the properties of low-dimensional semiconductors, with special attention to the two-dimensional electron gas and quantum wells. The focus here is on the use of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics to describe these systems. Examples from current technology, such as transistors and optoelectronic devices, illustrate the theoretical framework. It includes various exercises to support the learning process.
