Characterization of Semiconductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures
Carlo Lamberti
Characterization
of Semiconductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures" is structured so
that each chapter is devoted to a specific characterization technique used in
the understanding of the properties (structural, physical, chemical, electrical
etc..) of semiconductor quantum wells and superlattices. An
additional chapter is devoted to ab initio modeling.
The book has
two basic aims. The first is educational, providing the basic concepts of each
of the selected techniques with an approach understandable by advanced students
in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Engineering, Nanotechnology. The
second aim is to provide a selected set of examples from the recent literature
of the TOP results obtained with the specific…
The topic of
quantum wells, wires and dots should be seen as a pretext of applying top level
characterization techniques in understanding the structural, electronic etc
properties of matter at the nanometer (and even sub-nanometer) scale. In this
respect it is an essential reference in the much broader, and
extremely hot, field of Nanotechnology.
- Comprehensive collection of the
most powerful characterization techniques for semiconductors heterostructures
and nanostructures. - Most of the chapters are authored by scientists that are
world wide among the top-ten in publication ranking of the specific field. -
Each chapter starts with a didactic introduction on the technique. - The second
part of each chapters deals with a selection of top examples highlighting the
power of the specific technique to analyse the properties of semiconductors
heterostructures and nanostructures.
