The Physics of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors

An Introduction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
