This book provides the theoretical basis and the relevant
experimental knowledge underlying our present understanding of the
electrical and optical properties of semiconductor
heterostructures. Although such structures have been known since
the 1940s, it was only in the 1980s that they moved to the
forefront of research, largely due to technological developments
that made it possible to grow several ultrathin layers of different
materials _ down to a few atoms in thickness _ on top of a silicon
or other substrates. The resulting structures have remarkable
properties not shared by bulk materials. One can, for example,
confine the motions of electrons to a single layer, making it
possible to investigate effectively two-dimensional systems. One
can also build materials with large-scale periodicities by
alternating layers of different compositions, thereby modulating
the optical and electronic properties of the resulting structure.
The text begins with a description of the electronic properties of
various types of heterostructures, including discussions of complex
band-structure effects, localized states, tunneling phenomena, and
excitonic states. The focus of most of the remainder of the book is
on optical properties, including intraband absorption, luminescence
and recombination, Raman scattering, subband optical transitions,
nonlinear effects, and ultrafast optical phenomena. The concluding
chapter presents an overview of some of the applications that make
use of the physics discussed. Appendices provide ackground
information on band structure theoy, kinetic theory,
electromagnetic modes, and Coulomb effects. Intended for graduate
students, physicists, and engineers beginning research
onsemiconductor heterostructures or interested in their
