As with the successful 2nd edition, Quantum Wells, Wires and Dots - 3rd Edition is aimed at providing all the essential
information, both theoretical and computational, in order that the reader can, starting from essentially nothing,
understand how the electronic, optical and transport properties of semiconductor heterostructures are calculated.
This text is designed to lead the reader through a series of simple theoretical and computational implementations, and
slowly build from solid foundations, to a level where the reader can begin to initiate theoretical investigations or
explanations of their own.
The author has completely reviewed and revised the text to bring it up-to-date. New material contributing an additional
20% to this third edition includes chapters covering the following topics:
- Electron transport
- Quantum dots
- Optical waveguides
- Optical properties of quantum wells
Aimed at postgraduate students of semiconductor and condensed matter physics, the book is essential to all those
researching in academic and industrial laboratories worldwide.
