Physics of Semiconductors and Their Heterostructures

This is the instructor's manual which accompanies a textbook offering comprehensive treatment of the underlying physics behind modern semiconductor devices, with applications to specific modern solid-state devices throughout. Modular in organization, it should be suitable for a range of courses in solid-state physics and devices in both physics and electrical engineering departments. Special features include: a step-by-step formulation of Monte Carlo Transport; discussion of excitonic effects in quantum wells; comprehensive coverage of heterostructures of solid-state devices; and historical introductions.
