Excellent bridge betweengeneral solid-state physics textbook and research articlespacked withproviding detailed explanations of the electronic, vibrational, transport, and optical properties of semiconductors
The most striking feature of the book is its modern outlook ... provides a wonderful foundation. The most wonderful feature is its efficient style of exposition ... an excellent book. PhysicsToday
Presents the theoretical derivations carefully and in detail and gives thorough discussions of the experimental results it presents. This makes it an excellent textbook both for learners and for more experienced researchers wishing to check facts. I have enjoyed reading it and strongly recommend it as a text for anyone working with semiconductors I know of no better text I am sure most semiconductor physicists will find this book useful and I recommend it to them. Contemporary Physics
Offersmuch new material:an extensive appendix about the important and by now well-established, deep center known as the DX center, additional problems and the solutions to over fifty of the problems at the end of the various chapters.
