Patterns of LightChasing the Spectrum from Aristotle to LEDs

S. Beeson, J. W. Mayer

Any student or engineer working in optics or the field of laser technology will find this a fascinating read. The book begins by addressing the properties of light as seen in the everyday world: events such as refraction in a pool, lenses in the form of glasses, the colors of objects, and atmospheric events. Latter chapters explain these events at the atomic and subatomic level and address the use of electron and optical microscopy in observing the worlds unseen by the unaided eye. Exercises and activities will be found in an appendix, but the primary volume can stand alone if the reader so desires.

Finite Element Methods and Their ApplicationsZ. Chen

The finite element method is one of the major tools used in the numerical solution of partial differ-ential equations in science and engineering. This book offers a fundamental and practical introduc-tion to this method, its various variants, and their applications. In presenting the material, the author has attempted to introduce every concept in the simplest setting and to maintain a level of treat-ment that is as rigorous as possible without being unnecessarily abstract. All the three major types of partial differential equations, i.e., elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations, are treated in this book. Nonlinear problems are studied as well. Further-more, there are four chapters on applications of the finite element method to solid and fluid mechanics, multiphase flows in porous media, and semicon-ductor modelling. The book contains unique recent developments of various finite elements such as nonconforming, mixed, discontinuous, character-istic, and adaptive finite elements, along with their applications.

This volume addresses the thin gate oxides involved in the individual processes in fabrication, e.g. the growth, cleaning and thermal oxidation of silicon, metal interconnect formation, and photolithography. It describes new methods for observing defects in SiO2 as well as novel approaches to eliminating such defects. The book will be a valuable resource for all materials scien-tists and engineers seeking to further advance the quality of silicon microdevices.

Bernoulli Potential in SuperconductorsHow the Electrostatic Field Helps to Understand Superconductivity

P. Lipavsky, J. Kolácek, K. Morawetz, E. H. Brandt, T. Yang

The motion of electrons in superconductors seems to exceed our imagination based on daily experi-ence with Newtonian mechanics. This book shows that the classical concepts, such as the balance of forces acting on electrons, are useful for under-standing superconductivity. The electrostatic field plays a natural part in this balance as it mediates forces between electrons at long distances.

Sensing with Terahertz RadiationD. Mittleman (Ed.)

The purpose of this book is two-fold. First, the various different methods of accessing the THz range are discussed, with a view to convince the reader that there have been qualitative and significant improvements over older, more conven-tional techniques. The text makes it clear that these improvements enable practical “real-world” applications of THz technology, in a manner which would not have been possible before. Second, the demonstrations and feasibility tests described serve as compelling evidence of the utility of such devices. Due to the unique characteristics of THz radiation and its interaction with materials, these devices have substantial advantages over other competing technologies in a number of different areas.

The Quantum Hall EffectD. Yoshioka

This is one of the most comprehensive and advanced books on the quantum Hall effect, which remains one of the most important subjects to have emerged in condensed matter physics over the past 20 years. The fractional quantum Hall effect has opened up a new paradigm in the study of strongly correlated electrons and it has been shown that new concepts, such as fractional statistics, anyon, chiral Luttinger liquid and composite particles, are realized in two-dimensional electron systems. This book explains the quantum Hall effects together with these new concepts starting from elementary quantum mechanics. Graduate students can use the text to gain an overall understanding of these phenomena.

Fundamentals of SemiconductorsPhysics and Materials Properties

P. Y. Yu, M. Cardona

This fourth edition of the well-established Funda-mentals of Semiconductors serves to fill the gap between a general solid-state physics textbook and research articles by providing detailed explana-tions of the electronic, vibrational, transport, and optical properties of semiconductors. The approach is physical and intuitive rather than formal and pedantic. Theories are presented to explain experi-mental results. This textbook has been written with both students and researchers in mind. Its emphasis is on understanding the physical properties of Si and similar tetrahedrally coordinated semicon-ductors. The explanations are based on physical insights. Each chapter is enriched by an extensive collection of tables of material parameters, figures, and problems. Many of these problems “lead the student by the hand” to arrive at the results. The major changes made in the fourth edition include: an extensive appendix about the important and by now well-established deep center known as the DX center, additional problems and the solutions to over fifty of the problems at the end of the various chapters. Some of the solutions contain extensions via discussions about topics of current interest in the field of semiconductor physics, such as spin-orbit coupling and k-linear band disper-sion.
