Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Electronic devices play a crucial role in todays societies and in the physical sciences where they originated. Contemplating that in just a few decades, technology guiding electrons and photons has emerged that makes possible oral and visual communication between peoples on opposite sides of the planet is truly a triumph of science and technology. Not to mention that equipped with a computer with access to the Internet, one can instantly access a wealth of human knowledge. The physical principles providing the understanding of the functioning of present day electronic devices should therefore be of interest not only to physicists, electrical engineers and material scientists, but to anyone with a general interest in how the wired world around us is functioning. Present day information technology is based on the physical properties of semiconductors, in particular the functioning of the transistor. The intension of this book is to take the reader from the principles of quantum mechanics through the quantum theory of metals and semiconductors all the way to how devices are used to perform their duties in electric circuits: for example functioning as amplifiers, switches, and in the hard ware of computers. The mechanics of arithmetic and logical operations are discussed and it is shown how electronic devices in the present day CMOS-technology can be carriers of arithmetic calculations and logic operations in computers--.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Adopting a uniquely pedagogical approach, this comprehensive textbook on the quantum mechanics of semiconductor materials and devices focuses on the materials, components and devices themselves whilst incorporating a substantial amount of fundamental physics related to condensed matter theory and quantum mechanics. Written primarily for advanced undergraduate students in physics and engineering, this book can also be used as a supporting text for introductory quantum mechanics courses, and will be of interest to anyone interested in how electronic devices function at a fundamental level. Complete with numerous exercises, and with all the necessary mathematics and physics included in appendices, this book guides the reader seamlessly through the principles of quantum mechanics and the quantum theory of metals and semiconductors, before describing in detail how devices are exploited within electric circuits and in the hardware of computers, for example as amplifiers, switches and transistors. 452 pp. Englisch.
