The physics of low-dimensional semiconductors : an introduction / John H. Davies, Glasgow University.

The composition of modern semiconductor heterostructures can be controlled precisely on the atomic scale to create low-dimensional systems. These systems have revolutionised semiconductor physics, and their impact on technology, particularly for semiconductor lasers and ultrafast transistors, is wid...
