Characterization of Semiconductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures

Characterization of Semiconductor Heterostructures and Nanostructures, 2e, reviews the theory and presents real-life examples of methods used to analyze the structural, physical, chemical, and electrical properties of nanometer-scale structures and materials. These methods are increasingly important given the demand for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices.Each chapter provides an educational introduction, reviewing the basic concepts of key analytical and spectroscopy techniques written in an approach understandable by advanced students in physics, chemistry, material science, engineering and nanotechnology.The second part of each chapter presents a selected set of examples from the recent literature that illustrates each technique so that you can understand how these methods are actually used in practice.
