Explore bulk and nanostructure crystals, from crystal lattices and band theory to energy gaps. This book discusses low-dimensional systems like graphene and carbon nanotubes and is an ideal introduction for students and researchers in condensed matter physics.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
