Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers FROM THE PUBLISHER
This textbook provides a complete course in quantum mechanics for students of semiconductor device physics and electrical engineering. It provides the necessary background to quantum theory for those starting work on micro- and nanoelectronic structures and is particularly useful for those going on to work with semiconductors and lasers. It introduces the main concepts of quantum mechanics which are important in everyday solid-state physics and electronics. Each topic includes examples which have been carefully chosen to draw upon relevant experimental research.
SYNOPSIS
Unique book aimed specifically at this market.
Updated to include the latest information.
Increasingly important as devices operate at a smaller sizes.
Full of practical information on a very theoretical subject.

FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A textbook for a one-semester senior undergraduate course emphasizing quantum wells, tunnelling, periodic potentials, and other topics of interest to students of solid-state electronics and physics. Ferry (engineering, Arizona State U.-Tempe) assumes students to have studied wave mechanics with the Schrdinger equation, quantum wells, the Krnig-Penney model, linear vector spaces, and electromagnetic field theory. The second edition has been revised light of comments on the 1992 first. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
