Semiconductor Physics

The ninth edition enhances its textbook character with significant updates in various sections. Notable additions include the Quantum Cascade Laser in the far infrared range and a revised theory of the quantum Hall effect based on ballistic transport. Recent discoveries, such as low-temperature resistance oscillations in semiconductors under specific conditions, are highlighted. New sections explore the integration of nanometer-sized coaxial carbon tubes in field effect transistors and the current-voltage characteristics of organic films, addressing the limits of miniaturizing electronic circuits.
