Physics of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors - An Introduction

Klappentext Beginning graduate introduction to low-dimensional systems and their applications. Zusammenfassung Introduces the principles underlying low-dimensional semiconductors by describing two systems in detail: the two-dimensional electron gas and the quantum well. It will be valuable to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate physics or electrical engineering students studying low-dimensional systems or heterostructure device physics.
