Title: Electrons and phonons in semiconductor multilayers
First published: 1997
Description: The ability to fabricate precisely characterized semiconductor structures of just a few molecules' thickness has catalyzed corresponding advances in our theoretical understanding of the physics of such systems. This book provides a detailed description of the quantum confinement of electrons and phonons in semiconductor wells, superlattices and quantum wires, and shows how this affects their mutual interactions.

The book will be of great use to graduate students and researchers investigating low-dimensional semiconductor structures, as well as to those developing new devices based on such systems.
