Ghosh, Avik

Fundamentals of electronic materials and devices : a gentle introduction to the quantum-classical world / Avik Ghosh - New Jersey : World Scientific, 2023 - xv, 331 p. - Lessons from nanoscience ; vol.8 .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This textbook combines top-down classical device physics with bottom-up quantum transport in a single venue to provide the basis for semiconductor devices of today. It is essential, easy reading for beginning undergraduate and practicing graduate students, physicists unfamiliar with device engineering and engineers untrained in quantum physics. With just a modes pre-requisite of freshman maths, the book works quickly through key concepts in quantum physics, Mathlab exercises and original homeworks, to cover a wide range of topics from chemical bonding to Hofstader butterflies, domain walls to Chern insulators, solar cells to photodiodes, FinFETs to Majorana fermions. For the practicing device engineer, it provides new concepts such as the quantum of resistance, while for the practicing quantum physicist, it provides new contexts such as the tunnel transistor."--Page 4 of cover
