Quantum Kinetics in Transport and Optics of Semiconductors

Quantum Kinetics in Transport and Optics of Semiconductors by Hartmut Haug, Antti-Pekka Jauho.

Nanoscale miniaturization and femtosecond laser-pulse spectroscopy require a quantum mechanical description of the carrier kinetics that goes beyond the conventional Boltzmann theory. On these extremely short length and time scales the electrons behave like partially coherent waves. This monograph d...
