Eine moderne und elegante Darstellung der Festkörperphysik. In dem ausgefeilten und klar strukturierten Lehrbuch werden alle wichtigen Teilgebiete der Festkörperphysik behandelt und anschaulich die grundlegenden Gesetzmäßigkeiten und die für die Festkörperphysik typische Betrachtungsweise eingeführt. Konsequente Berücksichtigung finden zudem die ungeordneten Festkörper, die in unserer Umwelt eine wichtige Rolle spielen und in der Wissenschaft zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen. Zur Illustration von experimentellen Ergebnissen werden nicht nur schematische Darstellungen präsentiert, sondern in erster Linie Originaldaten herangezogen. Hierdurch sollen nicht zuletzt auch die Schwierigkeiten verdeutlicht werden, denen ein Experimentalphysiker in der Praxis gegenübersteht. An die Kapitel schließen sich Übungsaufgaben an, die die unmittelbare Überprüfung des Gelernten ermöglichen. ";Dieses Buch ist inhaltlich das Beste für die Festkörperphysik-Vorlesung und ist aufgrund seiner Übersichtlichkeit und Strukturierung hervorragend als Lehrbuch geeignet."; Prof. Dr. Jochen Mannhart, Universität Augsburg ";Ein didaktisch hervorragendes Buch, das aktuelle Themen behandelt und die richtige Stoffauswahl bietet."; Prof. Abbas Farschtschi, TU Chemitz

This publication, in two volumes, is devoted to the scientific impact of the work of Nobel Laureate, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. It covers the important fields for which de Gennes was renowned: solid state (magnetism and superconductivity), macroscopic random media and percolation, supersolids, liquid crystals, polymers, adhesion and friction, and biophysics. The book brings together internationally renowned experts to contribute their perspectives on the significance of de Gennes' works. They have each selected a definitive paper, which gives t

Laser cooling is an important emerging technology in such areas as the cooling of semiconductors. The book examines and suggests solutions for a range of problems in the development of miniature solid-state laser refrigerators, self-cooling solid-state lasers and optical echo-processors. It begins by looking at the basic theory of laser cooling before considering such topics as self-cooling of active elements of solid-state lasers, laser cooling of solid-state information media of optical echo-processors, and problems of cooling solid-state quantum processors.Laser Cooling of Solids is

The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devices, and advances in theoretical understanding of mesoscopic systems or nanostructures. This book has been thoroughly revised and provides a much-needed update on the very latest experimental research into mesoscopic devices and develops a detailed theoretical framework for understanding their behaviour. Beginning with the key observable phenomena in nanostructures, the authors describe quantum confined systems, transmission in nanostructures, quantum dots, and single electron phenomena. Separate chapters are devoted to interference in diffusive transport, temperature decay of fluctuations, and non-equilibrium transport and nanodevices. Throughout the book, the authors interweave experimental results with the appropriate theoretical formalism. The book will be of great interest to graduate students taking courses in mesoscopic physics or nanoelectronics, and researchers working on semiconductor nanostructures.

This book reviews recent advances in the exciting and rapidly growing field of semiconductor quantum dots via contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in the scientific community. Special focus is given to optical, quantum optical, and spin properties of single quantum dots due to their potential applications in devices operating with single electron spins and/or single photons. This includes single and coupled quantum dots in external fields, cavity-quantum electrodynamics, and single and entangled photon pair generation. Single Semiconductor Quantum Dots also addresses growth techniques to allow for a positioned nucleation of dots as well as applications of quantum dots in quantum information technologies.
