Quantum Wells, Wires and Dots Second Edition: Theoretical and Computational Physics of Semiconductor Nanostructures provides all the essential information, both theoretical and computational, for complete beginners to develop an understanding of how the electronic, optical and transport properties of quantum wells, wires and dots are calculated. Readers are lead through a series of simple theoretical and computational examples giving solid foundations from which they will gain the confidence to initiate theoretical investigations or explanations of their own.
Emphasis on combining the analysis and interpretation of experimental data with the development of theoretical ideas
Complementary to the more standard texts
Aimed at the physics community at large, rather than just the low-dimensional semiconductor expert
The text present solutions for a large number of real situations
Presented in a lucid style with easy to follow steps related to accompanying illustrative examples
Summary: Excellent Book
Rating: 5
This book is the best you are going to find for new quantum electronics. It covers all the essentials (wells, wires and dots as the title says) and, AND it gives you all the code used to generate every figure. This way you can work all the numbers and equations yourself. Yes, it is very expensive, but hey, Harrison has to eat man; a book like this has a real limited audience, so you have to bear the cost to be elite.
The code is all C code and can be run in unix or linux. You can also get an emulator (cygwin.com) or translate into your favorite C. The author has a great website with errata and software updates. copyright by www.booko.org
Again, the ability to follow along by running your own code helps really bring the information across. The book and the code are both well written.
Excellent book.
