Book Description
This book is an analysis of a semiconductor nanostructure called isolated GaAs-AlGaAs quantum well (QW). It details the connectivity between quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics and is the first comprehensive book on this topic. It provides a detailed analysis of the application of quantum mechanics of semiconductor nanostructures and electron transport under the influence of magnetic field. Electronics, lasers, atomic clocks, and magnetic resonance scanners all fundamentally depend on our understanding of the quantum nature of light and matter explored in this book. Magnetic Field Effects on Quantum Wells is a highly technical treatment featuring: -- Calculated parametric variations of transmission coefficient of the QW in non-tunneling regime in absence and in presence of magnetic field applied perpendicular to GaAs-AlGaAs interfaces -- Explanations of magnetic field dependence of the parametric variations in a quantitatively exact manner -- Presentations of background material on microelectronics, nanostructure physics, and classical mechanics This is an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, industry professionals, faculty, and graduate students working with quantum mechanics. It is an excellent text for post-graduates conducting research in semiconductor and condensed matter.

Book Description
This invaluable book is devoted to the physics, technology and device applications of semiconductor structures with ultrathin layers where the electronic properties are governed by the quantum-mechanical laws. Such structures called quantum wells or structures with the two-dimensional electron gas, have become one of the most actively investigated objects in modern solid state physics. Electronic properties of quantum wells differ dramatically from those of bulk semiconductors, which allows one to observe new types of physical phenomena, such as the quantum Hall effect and many other so-far-unknown kinetic and optical effects. This, in turn, offers wide opportunities for creating semiconductor devices based on new principles, and it has give birth to the new branch of electronics called nanoelectronics.

Book Description
The book deals with pure Nanostructure Physics of tunneling regime of GaAs-AlGaAs Coupled Quantum Well (CQW) in presence of magnetic field perpendicular to GaAs-AlGaAs interfaces. The book presents thorough and complete analytical calculations leading to a transcendental equation obeyed by the magnetic field dependent quasi-bound energy levels of CQW. Thorough numerical investigations are reported to bring out effects of the magnetic field on the quasi-bound energy levels. The effects have been successfully and completely explained in terms of a magnetic field dependent effective potential. The book has comprehensive analytical and numerical account of the problem. The book contains background on Quantum Mechanics, Microelectronics, Nanostructure Physics and Classical Mechanics to enable readers assimilate the book completely.

Book Description
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Interfaces, Quantum Wells and Superlattices" was held from August 16th to 29th, 1987, in Banff, Alberta, Canada. This volume contains most of the lectures that were given at the Institute. A few of the lectures had already been presented at an earlier meeting and appear instead in the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Physics and Applications of Quantum Wells and Super lattices" held in Erice from April 21st to May 1st earlier in the year and published by Plenum Press. The study of semiconductor interfaces, quantum wells and super lattices has come to represent a substantial proportion of all work in condensed matter physics. In a sense the growth of interest in this area, which began to accelerate about 10 years ago and seems to be continuing, has been driven by technological developments. While the older generation of semiconductor devices was based on adjacent semiconductors with different properties (e. g. different doping levels) separated by interfaces, modern semiconductor devices tend to be based more and more on properties of the interfaces themselves. This has led, as an example, to the field of band-structure engineering. Improved understanding of the fundamental physics of these systems has aided technological developments and, in turn, technological developments have made available systems which exhibit novel and fascinating phYSical properties, such as the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects.

Book Description
This book contains the lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Physics and Applications of Quantum Wells and Superlattices", held in Erice, Italy, on April 21-May 1, 1987. This course was the fourth one of the International School of Solid-State Device Research, which is under the auspices of the Ettore Majorana Center for Scientific Culture. In the last ten years, we have seen an enormous increase in re search in the field of Semiconductor Heterostructures, as evidenced by the large percentage of papers presented in recent international conferences on semiconductor physics. Undoubtfully, this expansion has been made possible by dramatic advances in materials preparation, mostly by molecular beam epitaxy and organometallic chemical vapor deposition. The emphasis on epitaxial growth that was prevalent at the beginning of the decade (thus, the second course of the School, held in 1983, was devoted to Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Heterostructures) has given way to a strong interest in new physical phenomena and new material structures, and to practical applications that are already emerging from them.

Book Description
Semiconductor devices based on lattice mismatched heterostructures have been the subject of much study. This volume focuses on the physics, technology and applications of strained layer quantum wells and superlattices, featuring chapters on aspects ranging from theoretical modeling of quantum-well lasers to materials characterization and assessment by the most prominent researchers in the field. It is an essential reference for both researchers and students of semiconductor lasers, sensors and communications.

Book Description
Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and contributors. The Willardson and Beer series, as it is widely known, has succeeded in producing numerous landmark volumes and chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials, Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices, Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise that this tradition will be maintained and even expanded.Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in modern industry.
