Nanostructures: Theory and Modelling

Product Description

Progress in nanoscience is becoming increasingly dependent on simulation and modeling. This is due to a combination of three factors: the reduced size of nano-objects, the increasing power of computers, and the development of new theoretical methods. This book represents the first attempt to provide the theoretical background needed by physicists, engineers and students to simulate nano-devices, semiconductor quantum dots and molecular devices. It presents in a unified way the theoretical concepts, the more recent semi-empirical and ab initio methods, and their application to experiments. The topics include quantum confinement, dielectric and optical properties, non-radiative processes, defects and impurities, and quantum transport. This guidebook not only provides newcomers with an accessible overview (requiring only basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics) but also provides active researchers with practical simulation tools.

Magnetic Memory: Fundamentals and Technology

Product Description
If you are a semiconductor engineer or a magnetics physicist developing magnetic memory, get the information you need with this, the first book on magnetic memory. From magnetics to the engineering design of memory, this practical book explains key magnetic properties and how they are related to memory performance, characterization methods of magnetic films, and tunneling magnetoresistance effect devices. It also covers memory cell options, array architecture, circuit models, and read-write engineering issues. You’ll understand the soft fail nature of magnetic memory, which is very different from that of semiconductor memory, as well as methods to deal with the issue. You’ll also get invaluable problem-solving insights from real-world memory case studies. This is an essential book for semiconductor engineers who need to understand magnetics, and for magnetics physicists who work with MRAM. It is also a valuable reference for graduate students working in electronic/magnetic device research.

Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers, Second Edition

Product Description
This textbook provides a complete course in

quantum mechanics for students of

semiconductor device physics and electrical

engineering. It provides the necessary

background to quantum theory for those starting

work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and

is particularly useful for those going on to work

with semiconductors and lasers.

This book was developed from a course the

author has taught for many years with a style and

order of presentation of material specifically

designed for this audience. It introduces the main

concepts of quantum mechanics which are

important in everyday solid-state physics and

electronics. Each topic includes examples which

have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant

experimental research. It also includes problems

with solutions to test understanding of theory. For

the second edition significant new material has

been added to each chapter, providing updated

connections with relevant experiments and device

concepts. New references and new problems are

included.
