دانلود کتاب مقدمه ای بر فیزیک نیمه هادی ها و دستگاه ها

When I was assigned to teach physics of device materials at Memorial University of Newfoundland 7 years ago, I got excited. Who would not be happy to tell the students about such diverse areas as quantum mechanics, statistical physics, theory of solids, electrodynamics, and crystallography, not to mention some cool electronic applications, in a one-semester course? This opportunity was especially thrilling, because the majority of my audience consisted of second-year engineering students with little or no prior knowledge about most of these subjects. It is always great to be the first to tell young people about something tremendously important. Finding a suitable text is the first challenge an instructor faces before teaching a course. This choice is usually made based on two factors: the knowledge the instructor intends to impart to the students and their background preparation level. There are many excellent books on semiconductor physics. But some of them implicitly assume the readers’ familiarity with the topics mentioned above, while others dig into those topics too deeply and are more suitable for the advanced undergraduate or graduate physics students. Neither description applied to my audience. Hence, I wrote a few pages on quantum mechanics and a few on statistical physics, which I shared with the students as a handout. As I was teaching this course in the following years, I added more material to those notes, which finally developed into this book.
