Semiconductor Nanodevices: Physics, Technology and Applications
explores recent advances in the field. The behaviour of these
devices is controlled by regions of nanoscale dimensions which
typically determine the local density of electronic states and lead
to the observation of a range of quantum effects with significant
potential for exploitation. The book opens with an introduction
describing the development of this research field over the past few
decades which contrasts quantum-controlled devices to conventional
nanoscale electronic devices where an emphasis has often been
placed on minimising quantum effects. This introduction is followed
by seven chapters describing electrical nanodevices and five
chapters describing opto-electronic nanodevices; individual
chapters review important recent advances. These chapters include
specific fabrication details for the structures and devices
described as well as a discussion of the physics made accessible.
It is an important reference source for physicists, materials
scientists and engineers who want to learn more about how
semiconductor-based nanodevices are being developed for both
science and potential industrial applications. The section on
electrical devices includes chapters describing the study of
electron correlation effects using transport in quantum point
contacts and tunnelling between one-dimensional wires; the
high-frequency pumping of single electrons; thermal effects in
quantum dots; the use of silicon quantum dot devices for qubits and
quantum computing; transport in topological insulator nanoribbons
and a comprehensive discussion of noise in electrical nanodevices.
The optical device section describes the use of self-assembled
III-V semiconductor nanostructures embedded in devices for a range
of applications, including quantum dots for single and entangled
photon sources, quantum dots and nanowires in lasers and quantum
dots in solar cells.
