Opis

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.

Recenzje

[A] book of some elegance which deftly presents the principal properties of phonons in nanostructures... nothing but lavish praise for the efforts of the author and publisher in the production of this book
