	Semiconductors and Modern Electronics Chuck Winrich Semiconductors and Modern Electronics is a brief introduction to the physics behind semiconductor technologies. Chuck Winrich, a physics professor at Babson College, explores the topic of semiconductors from a qualitative approach to understanding th… Publication Date: August, 2019 Read More
	Topological Insulators Panagiotis Kotetes This book provides an introduction to topological matter with a focus on insulating bulk systems. A number of prerequisite concepts and tools are first laid out, including the notion of symmetry transformations, the band theory of semiconductors and … Publication Date: April, 2019 Read More
	Hyperbolic Metamaterials Igor Smolyaninov Hyperbolic metamaterials were originally introduced to overcome the diffraction limit of optical imaging. Soon thereafter it was realized that hyperbolic metamaterials demonstrate a number of novel phenomena resulting from the broadband singular beha… Publication Date: March, 2018 Read More
	Thermal Properties of Matter Joe Khachan The ancient Greeks believed that all matter was composed of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. By a remarkable coincidence (or perhaps not), today we know that there are four states of matter: solids (e.g. earth), liquids (e.g. water), gasse… Publication Date: February, 2018 Read More
	High Power Microwave Tubes Vishal Kesari, B N Basu Volume 2 of the book begins with chapter 6, in which we have taken up conventional MWTs (such as TWTs, klystrons, including multi-cavity and multi-beam klystrons, klystron variants including reflex klystron, IOT, EIK, EIO and twystron, and crossed-fi… Publication Date: February, 2018 Read More
	High Power Microwave Tubes Vishal Kesari, B N Basu Our aim in this book is to present a bird’s-eye view of microwave tubes (MWTs) which continue to be important despite competitive incursions from solid-state devices (SSDs). We have presented a broad and introductory survey which we hope the readers … Publication Date: February, 2018 Read More
	Applied Digital Logic Exercises Using FPGAs Kurt Wick FPGAs have almost entirely replaced the traditional Application Specific Standard Parts (ASSP) such as the 74xx logic chip families because of their superior size, versatility, and speed. For example, FPGAs provide over a million fold increase in gat… Publication Date: October, 2017 Read More
	Modeling Self-Heating Effects in Nanoscale Devices Katerina Raleva, Abdul Rawoof Shaik, Dragica Vasileska, Stephen M. Goodnick It is generally acknowledged that modeling and simulation are preferred alternatives to trial and error approaches to semiconductor fabrication in the present environment, where the cost of process runs and associated mask sets is increasing exponent… Publication Date: September, 2017 Read More
	Semiconductor Integrated Optics for Switching Light Charlie Ironside This book covers the technology of switching or modulating light in semiconductor optical waveguides. Currently a key function for optical communications systems is the conversion of data from an electrical signal to an optical signal for transmissio… Publication Date: September, 2017 Read More
	Radiative Properties of Semiconductors N.M. Ravindra, Sita Rajyalaxmi Marthi, Asahel Banobre Optical properties, particularly in the infrared range of wavelengths, continue to be of enormous interest to both material scientists and device engineers. The need for the development of standards for data of optical properties in the infrared rang… Publication Date: August, 2017 Read More
	Capture and Relaxation in Self-Assembled Semiconductor Quantum Dots Gerald Bastard, Robson Ferreira This is an overview of different models and mechanisms developed to describe the capture and relaxation of carriers in quantum-dot systems. Despite their undisputed importance, the mechanisms leading to population and energy exchanges between a quant… Publication Date: December, 2015 Read More
	Nanoscopic Electrofocusing for Bio-Nanoelectronic Devices Michael R Hamblin, Shanmugamurthy Lakshmanan The ability to arrange precisely designed patterns of nanoparticles into a desired spatial configuration is the key to creating novel nanoscale devices that take advantages of the unique properties of nanomaterials. While two-dimensional arrays of na… Publication Date: February 13, 2015 Read More
	The Tao of Microelectronics Yumin Zhang , Microelectronics is a challenging course to many undergraduate students and is often described as very messy. Before taking this course, all the students have learned circuit analysis, where basically all the problems can be solved by applying Kirchh… Publication Date: 12/01/2014 Read More
	Advanced Solid State Theory Thomas Pruschke This book will introduce advanced concepts and topics of solid-state theory. To this end we need a tool box that enables us to treat electron-electron interactions, and possibly also electron-phonon or phonon-phonon interactions in some well-defined,… Publication Date: 07/01/2014 Read More
