Review: This book was designed as a one-semester course for fourth-year engineering students. It introduces the main concepts of quantum mechanics that are important in practical solid-state physics and electronics, especially for those students who are embarking on work on micro- and nano-electronic structures and those who are going on to work with semiconductors and lasers. The topics and examples have been chosen from experimental studies using modern microelectronics, heteroepitaxial growth, and quantum well and superlattice structures. This new edition includes further discussion on many of the topics, and important new editions such as numerical solutions to Schrödinger's equation.
