About the Book

This work attempts to encapsulate the fundamental quantum processes of importance to the physics and technology of semiconductors. This new edition is expanded by the addition of three chapters: quantum processes in a magnetic field, scattering in a degenerate gas and dynamic screening. The author has taken the opportunity to correct and update other sections. As with the first edition the text restricts its attention to bulk semiconductors. Nineteen new line drawings have been added to this edition. This text may be a useful reference for workers in the field and for postgraduates.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Band structure of semiconductors: the crystal Hamiltonian; adiabatic approximation; phonons; the one-electron approximation; Bloch functions; nearly-free-electron model; energy gaps; spin-orbit coupling and orbital characteristics; band structures; chemical trends; k.p perturbation and effective mass; temperature dependence of energy gaps; deformation potentials; alloys. Part 2 Energy levels: the effective-mass approximation; electron dynamics; Zener-Bloch oscillations; Landau levels; plasma oscillations; excitons; hydrogenic impurities; hydrogen molecule centres; core effects; deep-level impurities; scattering states; impurity bands. Part 3 Lattice scattering: general features; energy and momentum conservation; acoustic phonon scattering; optical phonon scattering; polar optical mode scattering; piezoelectric scattering; scattering-induced electron mass; mobilities; appendix - acoustic waves in the diamond lattice. Part 4 Impurity scattering: general features; charged-impurity scattering; neutral-impurity scattering; central-cell contribution to charged-impurity scattering; dipole scattering; electron-hole scattering; electron-electron scattering; mobilities; appendix - Debye screening length, average separation of impurities, alloy scattering. Part 5 Radiative transitions: transition rate; photo-ionization and radiative capture cross-section; wavefunctions; direct interband transitions; photo-deionization of a hydrogenic acceptor; photo-ionization of a hydrogenic donor; photo-ionization of quantum-defect impurities; photo-ionization of deep-level impurities; summary of photo-ionization cross-sections; indirect transitions; indirect interband transitions; free-carrier absorption; free-carrier scattering of light; appendix - justification of effective-mass approximation in light scattering. Part 6 Non-radiative processes: electron-lattice coupling; the configuration-co-ordinate diagram; semi-classical thermal generation rate; thermal broadening of radiative transitions; thermal generation and capture rates; electron-lattice coupling strengths; selection rules for phonon-impurity coupling; phonon-cascade capture; the Auger effect; impact ionization; appendix - the multiphonon matrix element. Part 7 Quantum processes in a magnetic field: introduction; collision-free situation; collision-induced current; scattering mechanisms; transverse Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations; longitudinal Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations; magnetophenon oscillations. Part 8 Scattering in a degenerate gas: general equations; elastic collisions; acoustic phonon scattering; energy relaxation time.
