This textbook provides a complete course in
quantum mechanics for students of
semiconductor device physics and electrical
engineering. It provides the necessary
background to quantum theory for those starting
work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and
is particularly useful for those going on to work
with semiconductors and lasers.
This book was developed from a course the
author has taught for many years with a style and
order of presentation of material specifically
designed for this audience. It introduces the main
concepts of quantum mechanics which are
important in everyday solid-state physics and
electronics. Each topic includes examples which
have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant
experimental research. It also includes problems
with solutions to test understanding of theory. For
the second edition significant new material has
been added to each chapter, providing updated
connections with relevant experiments and device
concepts. New references and new problems are
included.
