Theory of Electron Transport in Semiconductors A Pathway from Elementary Physics to Nonequilibrium Green Functions / by Carlo Jacoboni.

This book describes in details the theory of the electron transport in the materials and structures at the basis of modern micro- and nano-electronics. It leads and accompanies the reader, through a step-by-step derivation of all calculations, from the basic laws of classical and quantum physics up...
