Introduction to XAFS: A Practical Guide to X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy

Product Description
X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) is a powerful and versatile technique for studying structures of materials in chemistry, physics, biology and other fields. This textbook is a comprehensive, practical guide to carrying out and interpreting XAFS experiments. Assuming only undergraduate-level physics and mathematics, the textbook is ideally suited for graduate students in physics and chemistry starting XAFS-based research. It contains concise executable example programs in Mathematica 7. Supplementary material available at www.cambridge.org/9780521767750 includes Mathematica code from the book, related Mathematica programs, and worked data analysis examples. The textbook addresses experiment, theory, and data analysis, but is not tied to specific data analysis programs or philosophies. This makes it accessible to a broad audience in the sciences, and a useful guide for researchers entering the subject.

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.

Quantum Mechanics for Nanostructures

Product Description
The properties of new nanoscale materials, their fabrication and applications, as well as the operational principles of nanodevices and systems, are solely determined by quantum-mechanical laws and principles. This textbook introduces engineers to quantum mechanics and the world of nanostructures, enabling them to apply the theories to numerous nanostructure problems. The textbook covers the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, including uncertainty relations, the Schrödinger equation, perturbation theory, and tunneling. These are then applied to a quantum dot, the smallest artificial atom, and compared to hydrogen, the smallest atom in nature. Nanoscale objects with higher dimensionality, such as quantum wires and quantum wells, are introduced, as well as nanoscale materials and nanodevices. Numerous examples throughout the text help students to understand the material.
