Books by Brian K. (Professor Emeritus of Physics Ridley

This book sets out the fundamental quantum processes that are important in the physics and technology of semiconductors. The fifth edition includes three new chapters that expand the coverage of semiconductor physics relevant to its accompanying technology.

The book provides a technical account of the basic physics of those nanostructures that are the foundation of the hardware of all manner of computers. It will be read by semiconductor physicists and electronic engineers and advanced research students world-wide.
