Fundamentals of Semiconductors: Physics and Materials Properties

Fundamentals of Semiconductors: Physics and Materials Properties

March 2010 | Peter Y. Yu, Manuel Cardona
The provided text is a preface and table of contents for the fourth edition of "Fundamentals of Semiconductors: Physics and Materials Properties" by Professor Dr. Peter Y. Yu and Professor Dr., Dres. h.c. Manuel Cardona. The book is part of the Graduate Texts in Physics series, published by Springer, and is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in physics. It covers core principles, definitions, derivations, experiments, and applications in semiconductor physics and materials science. The preface highlights the following key points: - The authors have added solutions to selected problems in the new edition to assist readers. - The book has been updated with new information on materials like GaN and its alloys, and new techniques such as Raman scattering. - The book now includes a Periodic Table of "semiconductor-forming" elements and material parameters. - The authors have corrected errors and improved clarity in the text. - The book has been translated into multiple languages, including Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, to reach a broader international audience. - The authors have created a website for the book, which includes additional information, solutions to selected problems, and references. The table of contents outlines the structure of the book, covering topics such as introduction to semiconductors, electronic band structures, vibrational properties, defects, electrical transport, optical properties, and quantum confinement effects. Each chapter includes problems for practice and a summary to reinforce understanding.The provided text is a preface and table of contents for the fourth edition of "Fundamentals of Semiconductors: Physics and Materials Properties" by Professor Dr. Peter Y.
