Examines the physics, technology and device applications of semiconductor structures with ultrathin layers where the electronic properties are governed by the quantum-mechanical laws. The text looks at such structures, called quantum wells, whose electronic properties differ greatly from those of bulk semiconductors, which allows one to observe new types of physical phenomena, such as the quantum Hall effect.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quantum Wells: Physics & Electronics of Twodimensional Systems (Hardcover)
This is a must-read for anyone starting off in the world of quantum wells. Mr. Shik has made fundamental ideas very easy to grasp. For those with more sophisticated tastes, this is a book to keep close at hand, for those times when you have difficulty remembering the answers to easy questions!
