More about the book

This book provides essential theoretical and computational insights into the electronic, optical, and transport properties of semiconductor nanostructures. It guides readers through detailed explanations and mathematical derivations, enabling them to design nanostructures with specific electronic and optical properties for various applications. The fully revised 4th edition includes new sections on modern techniques and extensive material covering topics such as non-parabolic energy bands, matrix solutions of Poisson and Schrödinger equations, critical thickness of strained materials, carrier scattering by interface roughness, alloy disorder, impurities, density matrix transport modeling, and thermal modeling. Authored by experts in semiconductor nanostructures and quantum optoelectronics, the text is presented in a clear, user-friendly style, complete with illustrative examples, questions, and computational problems in each chapter. This structure helps readers build a solid foundation for initiating their own theoretical investigations. It is suitable for postgraduate students in semiconductor and condensed matter physics and is essential for researchers in academic and industrial laboratories worldwide. Instructors can contact the authors for problem solutions.
