Book Description
The technology of crystal growth has advanced enormously during the past two decades. Among, these advances, the development and refinement of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has been among the msot important. Crystals grown by MBE are more precisely controlled than those grown by any other method, and today they form the basis for the most advanced device structures in solid-state physics, electronics, and optoelectronics. As an example, Figure 0.1 shows a vertical-cavity surface emitting laser structure grown by MBE.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Crystals grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) form the basis for today’s most advanced device structures in solid-state physics, electronics and optoelectronics. Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy gathers together the basic materials science principles that apply to MBE, and treats in great depth its most important aspects. The book begins with basic materials science and solid-state physics concepts, and ends at the frontiers of modern research. Throughout, it teaches the usefulness of thermodynamic and statistical calculations based on intuitive and physically motivated semi-empirical models. Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy is thorough enough to benefit graduate students and professional researchers, yet it is also broad enough to benefit materials, surface, and device researchers interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the modern science of epitaxy.|Crystals grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) form the basis for today’s most advanced device structures in solid-state physics, electronics and optoelectronics.
