Physics and Technology of Semiconductor Heterostructures

Catalog description

Covers, largely from an experimental point of view, topics of current interest in semiconductor heterostructure physics and technology; magnetotransport in two-dimensional electron gas; integer and fractional quantum Hall effects; resonant tunneling and superlattice transport; optical and transport properties of quantum wires and dots; heterostructure-based devices; other topics of student interest. Prerequisites: PHYS 1410 or equivalent quantum mechanics and ENGN 1590 or introductory device course helpful, but not required.
