Spectroscopy of Semiconductors: Numerical Analysis Bridging Quantum Mechanics and Experiments
About this ebook
This book explains the experimental setups for optical spectral analysis of semiconductors and describes the experimental methods and the basic quantum mechanical principles underlying the fast-developing nanotechnology for semiconductors. Further, it uses numerous case studies with detailed theoretical discussions and calculations to demonstrate the data analysis. Covering structures ranging from bulk to the nanoscale, it examines applications in the semiconductor industry and biomedicine. Starting from the most basic physics of geometric optics, wave optics, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, it provides a self-contained resource on the subject for university undergraduates. The book can be further used as a toolbox for researching and developing semiconductor nanotechnology based on spectroscopy.
About the author
Dr. Ying Fu works at Royal Institute of Technology, where he teaches physics and biophysics, and conducts research focusing on studying and developing bio-conjugated quantum dots (QDs) as in vitro and in vivo biomarkers for studying molecular events of clinical relevance, both theoretically (advanced solid-state theories as well as first-principles theories involving heavy computing on nanostructures, nanophotonics, and nano-bio photonics), and experimentally with a particular strength in live cell and super-resolution bioimaging.
Dr. Wei LU is the professor in Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Chinese academy of sciences. His research field is in the opto-electronics, focusing on the quantum effects and their applications. He has developed the new spectroscopy methods to study the semiconductor quantum structure, including quantum well, quantum wire and quantum dots. His developed LED and integrated optical filter have been used in satellite.
