Sandip Tiwari Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The subject of semiconductor physics today includes not only many of the aspects that constitute solid state physics, but also much more. It includes what happens at the nanoscale and at surfaces and interfaces, behavior with few interaction events and few carriers --- electrons and their quasi-particle holes --- in the valence bands, the exchange of energies in various forms, the coupling of energetic events over short and long length scales, quantum reversibility tied to macroscale linearity and eventually to nonlinearities, the thermodynamic and statistical consequences of fluctuation-dissipation, and others. This text brings together traditional solid-state approaches from the 20th century with developments of the early part of the 21st century, to reach an understanding of semiconductor physics in its multifaceted forms. It reveals how an understanding of what happens within the material can lead to insights into what happens in its use. The collection of four textbooks in the Electroscience series culminates in a comprehensive understanding of nanoscale devices -- electronic, magnetic, mechanical and optical -- in the 4th volume. The series builds up to this last subject with volumes devoted to underlying semiconductor and solid-state physics.

This book provides a unique, elegantly unified discussion of information processing and computation in nanoscale physical systems, encompassing the fundamental nature of information, its various physical embodiments, and phenomena that can be exploited at the nanoscale for information manipulation and storage. No other source provides such breadth of coverage, which here is combined with Tiwariâs characteristically deep, insightful exposition and perspective. As the first to appear in what is envisioned to be a four-volume series on electroscience of the nanoscale, Nanoscale Device Physics will serve as a unique and highly valuable resource for advanced education in, and thoughtful reflection on, modern solid state device physics.
