Product Review
"Electrons and Phonons in Semiconductor Multilayers achieves its purpose commendably and fills a gap in the market. The book is well-produced, with a good index, and is reasonably priced." Optics & Photonics News
"It is a specialist's Vade Mecum, including an immense amount of valuable detail that demands an effort from the reader to distill the physics from the mathematics." Peter J. Price, Physics Today
"The reviewed book is one of those rare pleasant events.The book should be of interest to those dealing with the investigations and applications of low-dimensional semiconductor structures." Yuri G. Peisakhovich, Materials Research Bulletin
Product Description
This book provides a detailed description of the quantum confinement of electrons and phonons in semiconductor wells, superlattices and quantum wires, and shows how this affects their mutual interactions. It discusses the transition from microscopic to continuum models, emphasizing the use of quasi-continuum theory to describe the confinement of optical phonons and electrons. The hybridization of optical phonons and their interactions with electrons are treated, as are other electron scattering mechanisms. The book concludes with an account of the electron distribution function in three-, two- and one-dimensional systems, in the presence of electrical or optical excitation. This text will be of great use to graduate students and researchers investigating low-dimensional semiconductor structures, as well as to those developing new devices based on these systems.
