Summary

"Written by a respected investigator with extensive experience in optoelectronic properties of semi-conductors, quantum structures, nanostructures, and related devices, this rigorous text comprehensively untangles the complexities of III-V semiconductor nanostructures starting from the bulk materials and ending with self-assembled quantum dots. Omar Manasreh's Semiconductor Heterojunctions and Nanostructures explains the underlying physics of heterojunctions, quantum wells, quantum dots, and related electronic and optoelectronic devices. The textbook is constructed for two courses; an introductory graduate/undergraduate senior course and an advance graduate course. While the book is primarily a graduate text, it can be used for short courses as well as a reference for newcomers and advanced researchers in the field of semiconductor nanostructures."--BOOK JACKET.
