Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics is a popular and established text that offers a thorough introduction to the underlying physics of semiconductor devices. It begins with a review of basic solid state physics then goes on to describe the properties of semiconductors including energy bands the concept of effective mass carrier concentration and conduction in more detail. Thereafter the book is concerned with the principles of operation of specific devices beginning with the Gunn Diode and the p-n junction. The remaining chapters cover the on specific devices including the LED the bipolar transistor the field-effect transistor and the semiconductor laser. The book concludes with a chapter providing a brief introduction to quantum theory. Not overtly mathematical Introduction to Semiconductor Device Physics introduces only those physical concepts required for an understanding of the semiconductor devices being considered. The author's intuitive style coupled with an extensive set of worked problems make this the ideal introductory text for those concerned with understanding electrical and electronic engineering applied physics and related subjects. | Introductory Semiconductor Device Physics GBP 180.00 1
Optics for Engineers The field of optics has become central to major developments in medical imaging remote sensing communication micro- and nanofabrication and consumer technology among other areas. Applications of optics are now found in products such as laser printers bar-code scanners and even mobile phones. There is a growing need for engineers to understand the principles of optics in order to develop new instruments and improve existing optical instrumentation. Based on a graduate course taught at Northeastern University Optics for Engineers provides a rigorous practical introduction to the field of optics. Drawing on his experience in industry the author presents the fundamentals of optics related to the problems encountered by engineers and researchers in designing and analyzing optical systems. Beginning with a history of optics the book introduces Maxwell‘s equations the wave equation and the eikonal equation which form the mathematical basis of the field of optics. It then leads readers through a discussion of geometric optics that is essential to most optics projects. The book also lays out the fundamentals of physical optics polarization interference and diffraction in sufficient depth to enable readers to solve many realistic problems. It continues the discussion of diffraction with some closed-form expressions for the important case of Gaussian beams. A chapter on coherence guides readers in understanding the applicability of the results in previous chapters and sets the stage for an exploration of Fourier optics. Addressing the importance of the measurement and quantification of light in determining the performance limits of optical systems the book then covers radiometry photometry and optical detection. It also introduces nonlinear optics. This comprehensive reference includes downloadable MATLAB code as well as numerous problems examples and illustrations. An introductory text for GBP 180.00 1
