Description

Bridging the gap between a general solid-state physics textbook and research articles, the renowned authors provide detailed explanations of the electronic, vibrational, transport, and optical properties of semiconductors. Their approach is a physical and intuitive one, rather than formal and pedantic. This textbook has been written with both students and researchers in mind, and the authors therefore present theories to explain experimental results. Throughout, the emphasis is on understanding the physical properties of Si, and similar tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors, with explanations based on physical insights. Each chapter is enriched by an extensive collection of tables of material parameters, figures and problems -- many of the latter 'lead students by the hand' to arrive at the results.
