Kurzbeschreibung
Written by researchers and teachers from eminent institutions and based on a tried-and-tested lecture, this advanced textbook comprehensively covers the fundamentals and approaches needed to perform research on mesoscopic systems. Backed by problems with solutions for self-study.
Filling the gap for comprehensive coverage of the realistic fundamentals and approaches needed to perform cutting-edge research on mesoscopic systems, this textbook allows advanced students to acquire and use the skills at a highly technical, research-qualifying level.
Starting with a brief refresher to get all readers on an equal footing, the text moves on to a broad selection of advanced topics, backed by problems with solutions for use in classrooms as well as for self-study.
Written by authors with research and teaching backgrounds from eminent institutions and based on a tried-and-tested lecture, this is a must-have for researchers, research students and instructors involved with semiconductor junctions, nanostructures and thin film systems.
