Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Crystals grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) form the basis for today's most advanced device structures in solid-state physics, electronics and optoelectronics. Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy gathers together the basic materials science principles that apply to MBE, and treats in great depth its most important aspects. The book begins with basic materials science and solid-state physics concepts, and ends at the frontiers of modern research. Throughout, it teaches the usefulness of thermodynamic and statistical calculations based on intuitive and physically motivated semi-empirical models. Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy is thorough enough to benefit graduate students and professional researchers, yet it is also broad enough to benefit materials, surface, and device researchers interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the modern science of epitaxy.Tsao, Jeffrey Y. is the author of 'Materials Fundamentals of Molecular Beam Epitaxy', published 1992 under ISBN 9780127016252 and ISBN 0127016252.
