Publisher's Synopsis
The non-equilibrium statistical physics of semiconductor systems determines the physical properties that regulate the functioning of many modern electronic devices. Roberto Luzzi and Áurea Rosas Vasconcellos (two of the authors of this book) have previously written books on the wider field of non-equilibrium statistical physics, and this will be the first book to apply these principles to semiconductors. The authors describe the fundamental aspects of non-equilibrium statistical physics and how they relate to semiconductors, and provide a review of experiments which have been dealt with using a non-equilibrium statistical framework.The book will be relevant to PhD students and researchers working in the field of semiconductor physics, and will act as supplementary reading for Masters courses.
