"Quantum Phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space. They occur in a
laboratory". - Asher Peres Semiconductor physics is a laboratory to
learn and discover the concepts of quantum mechanics and
thermodynamics, condensed matter physics, and materials science,
and the payoffs are almost immediate in the form of useful
semiconductor devices. Debdeep Jena has had the opportunity to work
on both sides of the fence - on the fundamental materials science
and quantum physics of semiconductors, and in their applications in
semiconductor electronic and photonic devices. In Quantum Physics
of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Jena uses this experience to
make each topic as tangible and accessible as possible to students
at all levels. Consider the simplest physical processes that occur
in semiconductors: electron or hole transport in bands and over
barriers, collision of electrons with the atoms in the crystal, or
when electrons and holes annihilate each other to produce a photon.
The correct explanation of these processes require a quantum
mechanical treatment. Any shortcuts lead to misconceptions that can
take years to dispel, and sometimes become roadblocks towards a
deeper understanding and appreciation of the richness of the
subject. A typical introductory course on semiconductor physics
would then require prerequisites of quantum mechanics, statistical
physics and thermodynamics, materials science, and
electromagnetism. Rarely would a student have all this background
when (s)he takes a course of this nature in most universities.
Jena's work fills in these gaps and gives students the background
and deeper understanding of the quantum physics of semiconductors
and nanostructures.
