The use of positive muons to simulate protons in solids is a relatively new, but already successful field of research, which exploits the unique properties of the muon. This book is a collection of papers for special issues of the Philosophical Magazine Part B and the Philosophi…
Semiconductor Opto-electronics
by Burrell, Geoffrey John, Moss, Trevor Simpson, Ellis, Bryan
Semiconductor Opto-Electronics focuses on opto-electronics, covering the basic physical phenomena and device behavior that arise from the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and electrons in a solid. The first nine chapters of this book are devoted to theoretical topic…
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in the development of semiconductor nanostructures and nanophotonic devices. It covers epitaxial growth processes for GaAs- and GaN-based quantum dots and quantum wells, describes the fundamental optical, electr…
Semiconductor luminescence has been a rapidly expanding field over the last 50 years. This text reviews the whole subject of semiconductor luminescence in one volume.
This Second Edition has been updated to reflect the advances that have taken place since publication of the previous edition. The book draws upon basic physics and engineering principles coupled with key economic, market, business, investment, and policy factors to explain the c…
