Optical Processes in Semiconductors (Dover Books on Physics)
Product ID: 7708619
Based on a series of lectures at Berkeley, 1968–1969, this is the first book to deal comprehensively with all of the phenomena involving light in semiconductors. The author has combined, for the graduate student and researcher, a great variety of source material, journal research, and many years of experimental research, adding new insights published for the first time in this book. Coverage includes energy states in semiconductors and their perturbation by external parameters, absorption, relationships between optical constants, spectroscopy, radiative transitions, nonradiative recombination, processes in pn junctions, semiconductor lasers, interactions involving coherent radiation, photoelectric emission, photovoltaic effects, polarization effects, photochemical effects, effect of traps on luminescence, and reflective modulation. The author has presented the subject in a manner which couples readily to physical intuition. He introduces new techniques and concepts, including nonradiative recombination, effects of doping on optical properties, Franz-Keldysh effect in absorption and emission, reflectance modulation, and many others. Dr. Pankove emphasizes the underlying principle that can be applied to the analysis and design of a wide variety of functional devices and systems. Many valuable references, illustrative problems, and tables are also provided here. Review: Recomendado - ¡Libro recomendado! Review: Useful.

Reveals basic secrets of semiconductors :)
This book for me is a "book of revealing semiconductor secrets" which includes good in-depth details of fundamental semiconductors that majority of semiconductor books, published in last 10-15 years do not include. Since it was written over 30 years or so back, it includes basic stuff, which is what your advisor or lecturer at university "expects" you to know or understand without a problem (of course in reality nothing is easy unless one knows about it and this book, I feel, does provides those basic answers :o)

good bargain!
great price, clean page, no scratch or any dirty spots, very good condition. It's almost a new one-- if you don't care about the slightly abraded spine. Anyway, enough for reading.

Very useful if you want a different book on semiconductors
As a scientist on semiconductors I found this book very useful and full of insights. This book is quite different from the usual books on the subject. I have read many of them and they all look the same. I don't think this book is good for beginners. This particular book covers cover some subjects like pressure effects or exciton emission or effects of phonon on absorption which is not really covered most of the time in standard books. It is not complete and some chapter are underdeveloped but at least it points out to references to complete it. It is a good complement with a standard book on semiconductor and definitely worth to have for anyone working in the field of the semiconductors.
