Survey of Semiconductor Physics, Survey of Semiconductor Physics

Concentrating on the physics, materials, and surface science of semiconductors rather than the individual devices themselves, the two volumes of this Second Edition present a condensate of the existing knowledge of semiconductor physics. The work contains everything a researcher needs in order to understand the functionality of semiconductor devices including bonds and bands; phonons, photons, and excitons; transport and optics; impurities and defects; carriers; fields; phase transitions; superconducity; noise; photoconductivity; space-charge effects; Schottky barriers; materials; and solar cells.
