This research and reference text provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research on hot carriers in semiconductors, with a focus on the background, theoretical approaches, measurements and physical understanding required to engage with the field. It equips researchers transitioning from optics to hot carrier solar cells to fully understand the role of hot carriers in semiconductors. Pitched at an introductory level, this is an essential reference text for researchers, a core text for graduate courses in hot carrier phenomena, and valuable supplementary reading for first year graduate courses in quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, solid-state electronics and photovoltaics.
Key Features:
Provides up-to-date coverage of hot carriers in semiconductors
Focuses on the background, theoretical approaches, measurements and understanding of the physics
Includes examples of experiments and applications of theoretical approaches
Fills a gap for a comprehensive and up-to-date book with modern interpretations of observed phenomena
Provides a comprehensive introduction for researchers, and acts as a core text for graduate courses in hot carrier phenomena
Sobre el autor
David Ferry is Regents’ Professor Emeritus in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He was also graduate faculty in the Department of Physics and the Materials Science and Engineering program at ASU, as well as Visiting Professor at Chiba University in Japan. He came to ASU in 1983 following shorter stints at Texas Tech University, the Office of Naval Research, and Colorado State University. In the distant past, he received his doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin, and spent a postdoctoral period at the University of Vienna, Austria. He enjoys teaching (which he refers to as “warping young minds”) and research. The latter is focused on semiconductors, particularly as they apply to nanotechnology and integrated circuits, as well as quantum effects in devices. In 1999, he received the Cledo Brunetti Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and is a Fellow of this group as well as the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics (UK). He has been a Tennessee Squire since 1971 and an Admiral in the Texas Navy since 1973. He is the author, co-author, or editor of some 40 books and about 900 refereed scientific contributions.Más ebooks del mismo autor / Editor
