Quantum Processes in Semiconductors

Abstract

The author's aim in writing this book was to present a clear account, at immediate postgraduate level and in not too difficult mathematical terms, of the quantum mechanical behaviour of electrons (and holes) in homogeneous crystalline semiconductors such as silicon and gallium arsenide. Solid state physics is, of course, a topic which has been worked over exhaustively and a library containing every relevant book would be very large indeed; but the point made by the author, that most of these are either too global in their coverage, too devoted to practical in homogeneous structures, or else too profound in their mathematical rigour, is well taken.
