Basic Semiconductor Physics

Book Description

This book presents a detailed description of the basic physics of semiconductors. All the important equations describing the properties of these materials are derived without the help of other textbooks. The reader is assumed to have only a basic command of mathematics and some elementary semiconductor physics. The text covers a wide range of important semiconductor phenomena, from the simple to the advanced. Examples include recent progress in semiconductor quantum structures, such as two-dimensional electron-gas systems, ballistic transport, the quantum Hall effect, the Landauer formula, the Coulomb blockade, and the single-electron transistor.

talks about superlattices and quantum Hall effect.......2006-01-30

Covering the basics of this field, the text unsurprisingly has much content that is covered in other, well-established books, like Ashcroft and Mermin or Kittel. But perhaps what most distinguishes Hamaguchi's effort are the sections on superlattices and the quantum Hall effect. These are omitted from those other books, if only because when they were written, the phenomena had not been invented or discovered. But because of the importance of these subjects, it is good to have them here, in an introductory text.

Hamaguchi also gives a comprehensive listing of the different types of scattering that happen in a semiconductor. But the brevity of space devoted to each really means this is little more than a definition of terms.

Book Description

This book introduces the basic theoretical concepts required for the analysis of the optical response of semiconductor systems in the coherent regime. The entire presentation is based on a one-dimensional tight-binding model. Starting with discrete-level systems, increasing complexity is added gradually to the model by including band-structure and many-particle interaction. Various linear and nonlinear optical spectra and temporal phenomena are studied. The analysis of many-body effects in nonlinear optical phenomena covers a major part of the book.

Only basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is required to benefit from the results presented in this book. Therefore, it is well suited as a textbook for advanced classes, for self-study, and for researchers interested in the field of semiconductor optics.

Book Description

This volume provides valuable summaries on many aspects of advanced semiconductor heterostructures and highlights the great variety of semiconductor heterostructures that has emerged since their original conception. As exemplified by the chapters in this book, recent progress on advanced semiconductor heterostructures spans a truly remarkable range of scientific fields with an associated diversity of applications. Some of these applications will undoubtedly revolutionize critically important facets of modern technology. At the heart of these advances is the ability to design and control the properties of semiconductor devices on the nanoscale. As an example, the intersubband lasers discussed in this book have a broad range of previously unobtainable characteristics and associated applications as a result of the nanoscale dimensional control of the underlying semiconductor heterostructures. As this book illustrates, an astounding variety of heterostructures can be fabricated with current technology; the potentially widespread use of layered quantum dots fabricated with nanoscale precision in biological applications opens up exciting advances in medicine. In addition, many more excellent examples of the remarkable impact being made through the use of semiconductor heterostructures are given. The summaries in this volume provide timely insights into what we know now about selected areas of advanced semiconductor heterostructures and also provide foundations for further developments.

Book Description

Since Volume 1 was published in 1982, the centres of interest in the basic physics of semiconductors have shifted. Volume 1 was called Band Theory and Transport Properties in the first edition, but the subject has broadened to such an extent that Basic Properties is now a more suitable title.

Seven chapters have been rewritten by the original authors. However, twelve chapters are essentially new, with the bulk of this work being devoted to important current topics which give this volume an almost encyclopaedic form.

Book Description

Because this book is a basic introduction to the chemistry, materials science, processing, and physics of the materials from which integrated ferroelectrics are made, newcomers to this field, as well as veterans, will find it self-contained and invaluable in acquiring the diverse elements requisite to success in their work.
The impetus for the rapid development of thin film technology, versus bulk materials, is its application to a variety of microelectronic products. Many characteristics of thin film ferroelectric materials are utilized in the development of these products; namely, their nonvolatile memory and piezoelectric, pyroelectric and electro-optic properties.

Book Description

The book deals with lock-in thermography as a special variant of the well known IR thermography for all applications where the heat of the sample can be pulsed. Compared to steady-state thermography, the lock-in mode enables a much improved signal/noise ratio (up to 1000x) by signal averaging, a far better lateral resolution, and it may provide inherent emissivity correction. Thus, it replaces thermal failure analysis previously carried out by using conventional IR microscopy, liquid crystal imaging, or fluorescent microthermal imaging. Various experimental approaches to lock-in thermography are reviewed with special emphasis on the systems developed by the authors themselves. Thus, the book provides a useful introduction to this technique and a helpful guide for scientists and engineers working in electronic device failure analysis. It concludes with a detailed theoretical treatment of the propagation of thermal waves, which is presented as a basis for various applications, e.g., integrated circuits, MOS structures, solar cells and solar modules.

Book Description

Korean veteran, Big Joe Champlain drives back to the Montana reservation brandishing a Purple Heart and the scalp of a Chinese communist. Driving a Cadillac he has purchased from his winnings as a champion bullrider at Madison Square Garden, he arrives to find a huge party going on at his father's small ranch. His father, Louis Champlain, has just acquired 19 heifers and a young bull as part of a government program to benefit landless Indians. Louis, as a sign of his generosity, announces he will butcher a cow to feed the partygoers. But when the bull is butchered instead, Joe volunteers to secure another bull for Louis. Against the warnings of his wife, Louis consents to let Joe handle the matter with disastrous but hilarious results.

Runaway hilarity.......2006-07-04

Risque by 1950s standards and controversial even today, Dan Cushman's runaway horse-and-motorcyle farce paved the way for serious (and comedic) writers of 20th Century Native American life: Sherman Alexie, James Welch, Kinsella, Deloria.
It shows the soft underbelly of well-intentioned efforts of whites to "uplift" their Indian neighbors and the uninentended consequences of these clashes of cultures, values, expectations.
Many of the scenes are priceless: The fiesta that follows Joe's return with war honors from Korea, or Madison Square Garden, or wherever he was; the horse-racing/horse-trading scene as a matter of honor as well as strategy and money; the parents' reburbishing of the house -- including a toliet that's not hooked up to anything -- to impress the family of the daughter's suitor.
Cushman wrote millions and millions of words and was one of the top authors of his day.
This is Cushman at his absolute best.
I recommend his autobiography, "Plenty of Room and Air" to get an understanding of Cushman and of Montana.

Warning - Not for reading with kids!.......2003-05-13

I mistakenly picked up this book and began reading it to my 7 year old son, thinking it would be a fun read together, which might inspire him to explore other books of this topic matter. In the first page I coughed my way through the word "G--D---" and found myself coughing my way through reading the entire first chapter. I found it too much effort to "bleep" my way through the tricky French-Canadian-Cowboy dialect of the trash-mouthed main character and eventually put the book down. I can't say I enjoy reading those words, myself, even.

So, if you are a parent and think that these older fiction books are more "safe" than the onese being produced today... think again.

YOU WON'T REGRET BUYING THIS BOOK! IT'S A MUST!.......1999-03-03

This book is just wonderful. . . I couldn't put it down. Cushman is truely an artist. He shows the funny side to a very real issue. His characters are deeply developed and so loveable. The reading is light enough to enjoy as a book for pleasure but would be very useful to a student of Native American culture and the Native American's assimilation into "civilized" society. You'll feel like you're there with the Champlains. You'll want to reach out to them. . .too bad you can't literally climb into a book.
