Hot Carriers in Semiconductors (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This research and reference text provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research into hot carriers in semiconductors, with a focus on the background, theoretical approaches, measurements and physical understanding required to engage with the field.

Covering non-equilibrium hot carriers created either by intense ultra-short laser pulses or high electric fields, the book fills a gap for a comprehensive and up-to-date book with modern interpretations of observed phenomena. It surveys hot electrons, hot phonons, phonon lifetimes, proper materials and more, providing a comprehensive survey of the constitutive elements of hot carriers.

The book also serves an interdisciplinary purpose, equipping researchers transitioning from optics to hot carrier solar cells to fully understand the role of hot carriers in semiconductors. Examples of experiments and applications of theoretical approaches are presented pedagogically, facilitating rapid and practical engagement with the subject.

Pitched at an introductory level, this reference text is an essential resource for researchers, a core text for graduate courses in hot carrier phenomena, and valuable supplementary reading for first year graduate courses in quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, solid-state electronics and photovoltaics.

Autorenporträt

David Ferry is Regents' Professor Emeritus in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He was also graduate faculty in the Department of Physics and the Materials Science and Engineering program at ASU, as well as Visiting Professor at Chiba University in Japan. He came to ASU in 1983 following shorter stints at Texas Tech University, the Office of Naval Research, and Colorado State University. In the distant past, he received his doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin, and spent a postdoctoral period at the University of Vienna, Austria. He enjoys teaching (which he refers to as "warping young minds") and research. The latter is focused on semiconductors, particularly as they apply to nanotechnology and integrated circuits, as well as quantum effects in devices. In 1999, he received the Cledo Brunetti Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and is a Fellow of this group as well as the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK). He has been a Tennessee Squire since 1971 and an Admiral in the Texas Navy since 1973. He is the author, co-author, or editor of some 40 books and about 900 refereed scientific contributions.
