Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction for Device Physicists and Electrical Engineers, - Tapa dura

This textbook for graduate physicists and engineers provides a sorely needed, single source approach to QM. Topics have been specifically chosen for their relevance to today's electronics. Elements normally left until the end of a traditional QM course (or omitted) are put into a logical order for this group of scientists.
Topics draw upon an impressively wide array of recent experimental research into heteroepitaxial growth, quantum wells and superlattice structure amongst other topics. The text is well illustrated and carefully written by an internationally known and experienced author. It is based upon a respected course of many years' standing and is enhanced by a set of problems designed to test the student's theoretical knowledge.
The straighforward way in which the author introduces and then develops topics makes this an ideal text for those going on to deal with semiconductors and laser topics in their subsequent careers.
Requires background knowledge of linear vector spaces, electromagnetic field theory and and introductory course in semiconductor materials.
