Inhaltsangabe

Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers provides the necessary background to quantum theory for those starting work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures, and in particular for those going on to work with semiconductor and laser topics later in their careers.
The author is well-known, and this book forms the basis of a course taught for many years at Arizona State University. Incorporating a wide variety of examples from recent experimental studies, such as heteroepitaxial growth, quantum wells and superlattice structures, this book covers:
* Waves and Particles
* The Schr^D"odinger Equation
* Tunnelling
* The Harmonic Oscillator
* Basis Functions, Operators and Quantum Dynamics
* Stationary and Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory
* Motion in Centrally Symmetric Potentials
* Electrons and Anti-Symmetry.
Students are introduced to the main concepts of Quantum Mechanics that are important in everyday solid state physics and electronics. Each topic is developed by chapter in a straightforward manner, and a set of problems at the end of the book test the student's theoretical knowledge. The ^Istyle and ^Iorder of presentation of topics are designed for the device physicist or electrical engineer. The selection of topics and examples has been made according to their importance in modern semiconductor
structures.
^IQuantum Mechanics for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers addresses the theoretical basics for a group previously poorly catered for. It presents topics of relevance with due importance in a logical order. It is intended for graduate students who have taken a course in (semiconductor) materials and who have studied linear vector spaces and electromagnetic field theory.
