Publisher's Synopsis
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 p ostgraduates.
