Electronic States and Optical Transitions in Semiconductor Heterostructures

by Fedor T. Vasko and Alex V. Kuznetsov

Book Overview

Heterostructures, made by growing several ultrathin layers of different materials (down to a few atoms in thickness) on top of a silicon or other substrates, have remarkable properties not shared by bulk materials. One can, for example, confine the motions of electrons to a single layer, making it possible to investigate effectively two- dimensional systems. One can also build materials with large-scale periodicities by alternating layers of different...
