Nonlinear Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Semiconductors and Devices is concerned with fundamental processes of self-organization and electrical instabilities to show the correlations between them. Leading experts give a survey of recent experimental observations concerning the spatiotemporal behaviour of dissipative structures in various semiconductor and present theoretical approches to problems of self-organization and the basic concepts of dynamical structures. To connect the field of semiconductor physics with the theory of nonequilibrium dissipative systems, the emphasis lies on the study of localized structures, their stability and bifurcation behaviour. A point of special interest is the evolution of dynamic structures and the investigation of more complex structures arising from interactions between these structures. Beyond that, possible applications of nonlinear effects and self-organization phenomena with respect to signal processing, sensors, and neural networks are discussed.
