The book serves as a comprehensive reference guide, linking essential data on semiconducting substances to the more detailed Landolt-Börnstein volumes. It provides users with a full list of contents, facilitating access to additional information contained in the complete handbooks. This resource effectively bridges laboratory findings with extensive library resources, making it invaluable for researchers and practitioners in the field of materials science.
Volumes III/17a-i and III/22a, b (supplement) on semiconductor physics and technology have been published earlier, the latter covering new data on the technologically important group IV elements and III-V, II-VI and I-VII compounds only.
The present Comprehensive Index 1996 replaces the Comprehensive Index 1990 and its diskette update Comprehensive Index 1994 on the Landolt-Boernstein Directory Disk 1.1. Also enclosed is a CD-ROM containing not only the full text of the Comprehensive Index 1996, but also the update of the Substance Index 1993.
This volume contains basic data about semiconductors, and a full list of contents, of the respective Landolt-Bornstein volumes from which the data were drawn.
Introduction to Solid-State Theory is a textbook for graduate students of physics and materials science. It also provides the theoretical background needed by physicists doing research in pure solid-state physics and its applications to electrical engineering. The fundamentals of solid-state theory are based on a description by delocalized and localized states and - within the concept of delocalized states - by elementary excitations. The development of solid-state theory within the last ten years has shown that by a systematic introduction of these concepts, large parts of the theory can be described in a unified way. This form of description gives a "pictorial" formulation of many elementary processes in solids, which facilitates their understanding.
