Synopsis

This work attempts to encapsulate the fundamental quantum processes of importance to the physics and technology of semiconductors. This new edition is expanded by the addition of three chapters: quantum processes in a magnetic field, scattering in a degenerate gas and dynamic screening. The author has taken the opportunity to correct and update other sections. As with the first edition the text restricts its attention to bulk semiconductors. Nineteen new line drawings have been added to this edition. This text may be a useful reference for workers in the field and for postgraduates.

About this title

Review

"A textbook and reference for graduate students and researchers that sets out the fundamental quantum processes that are important in the physics and technology of semiconductors. Limiting his coverage to bulk semiconductors as in the previous editions beginning in 1982, Ridley (physics, U. of
Essex) here augments the 1993 edition with new chapters to provide a deeper foundation for the quantum processes described, and a statistical bridge to phenomena involving charge transport. He also updates many of the existing topics."--SciTech Book News
"This new edition covers the material included in the earlier editions, supplemented by sections on mixed and entangled quantum states treated by a single particle density matrix method; more on the use of the Boltzmann equation and on transport phenomena; and further treatment of hot-electron
phenomena. The main aim of the book is to interpret theoretical quantum phenomena for graduate experimental solid-state physicists."--Aslib Book Guide
