Fundamentals of Solid State Engineering
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-75707-0 (ISBN)
The fourth edition of this class-tested, multi-disciplinary introduction to solid state engineering adds dozens of revised and updated sections and problems, as well as three new chapters on solar energy harvesting, thermal and photothermal energy harvesting, and photo-thermovoltaics. Combining concepts from physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering, Professor Razeghi describes electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions, the Kane effective mass method, the carbon atom, thermal properties of crystals, the harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, the quantum mechanical description of angular momentum, and the origin of spin in a chapter devoted to quantum mechanics. This textbook features an improved transport theory description that goes beyond Drude theory, discussing the Boltzmann approach. Introducing students to the rigorous quantum mechanical way of thinking about and formulating transport processes, this fourth edition presents the basic physics concepts and thorough treatment of semiconductor characterization technology, designed for solid state engineers.
Dr. Manijeh Razeghi is Walter P. Murphy Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Director, Center for Quantum Devices at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. She earned the Docteur d'État ès Sciences Physiques, Université de Paris, Paris, France; a Docteur 3ème Cycle Solid State Physics, Université de Paris, Paris, France; and a DEA Science des Matériaux, Université de Paris, Paris, France. Her research interests include quantum devices, compound semiconductor science and nanotechnology, the physics of new semiconductor crystals for novel applications and realizing advanced semiconductor devices such as lasers, photodetectors, transistors, waveguides and switches.
