In this first serious study of the economics of the black market, S. K. Ray looks in-depth at profiteering, black money, fraud, smuggling, government corruption, and the overall structure of the black market.

This is a remarkable book based on research and analysis of the concept and application of economic growth in all their dimensions.

This book comprehensively covers the areas of materials growth, characterisation and descriptions for the new devices in siliconheterostructure material systems. In recent years, the development of powerful epitaxial growth techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), ultra-high vacuum chemical vapour deposition (UHVCVD) and other low temperature epitaxy techniques has given rise to a new area of research of bandgap engineering in silicon-based materials. This has paved the way not only for heterojunction bipolar and field effect transistors, but also for other fascinating novel quantum devices. This book provides an excellent introduction and valuable references for postgraduate students and research scientists.
