商品描述

This book presents a systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date description of the physical basis of the balance equation transport theory and its applications in bulk and low-dimensional semiconductors. The different aspects of the balance equation method, originally proposed by C S Ting and the author of the present book, were reviewed in the volume entitled Physics of Hot Electron Transport in Semiconductors (edited by C S Ting, World Scientific, 1992). Since then, this method has been extensively developed and applied to various new fields, such as transport in nonparabolic systems, spatially nonuniform systems and semiconductor devices, miniband conduction of superlattices, hot-electron magnetotransport, effects of impact ionization in transport, microwave-induced magnetoresistance oscillation, radiation-driven transport and electron cooling, etc. Due to its simplicity and effectiveness, the balance equation approach has become a useful tool to tackle the many transport phenomena in semiconductors, and provides a reliable basis for developing theories, modeling devices and explaining experiments.

The book may be used as a textbook by graduate students. It will also benefit researchers in the field by helping them grasp the basic principles and techniques of the method, without having to spend a lot of time digging out the information from widespread literature covering a period of 30 years.

Contents: Main Physical Considerations and Transport Balance Equations; DC Steady-State Transport; Time-Dependent and High-Frequency Transport; Center-of-Mass Velocity Fluctuations, Noise and Diffusion; Effects of Nonequilibrium and Confined Phonons; Systems with Several Species of Carriers; Balance Equation Transport Theory and Electron Correlation; Balance Equation Approach to Magnetotransport; Higher-Order Scatterings and Alternative Formulations of Balance Equation Theory; Weakly Nonuniform Systems, Hydrodynamic Balance Equations; Balance Equations for Hot Electron Transport in an Arbitrary Energy Band; Miniband Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices; Nonparabolic Systems with Magnetic Field, Impact Ionization or under Nonuniform Condition; Carrier Transport in Semiconductors Driven by THz Radiation Fields; Radiation Driven Magnetotransport in Two-Dimensional Systems in Faraday Geometry.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書系統、全面且最新地描述了平衡方程傳輸理論的物理基礎及其在體材料和低維半導體中的應用。平衡方程方法的不同方面最初由C S Ting和本書作者提出,並在《半導體中熱電子傳輸物理》(C S Ting編輯,World Scientific,1992年)一書中進行了回顧。自那時以來,該方法已被廣泛發展和應用於各種新領域,例如非抛物系統中的傳輸、空間非均勻系統和半導體器件中的傳輸、超晶格中的小能帶傳導、熱電子磁傳輸、傳輸中的撞擊電離效應、微波誘導的磁阻振盪、輻射驅動的傳輸和電子冷卻等。由於其簡單性和有效性,平衡方程方法已成為處理半導體中許多傳輸現象的有用工具,並為發展理論、建模器件和解釋實驗提供可靠基礎。

本書可作為研究生的教科書使用。對於該領域的研究人員來說,它將幫助他們掌握該方法的基本原理和技巧,而無需花費大量時間從廣泛的文獻中尋找30年的信息。
