Title information

This book is an analysis of a semiconductor nanostructure called isolated GaAs-AlGaAs quantum well (QW). It details the connectivity between quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics and is the first comprehensive book on this topic. It provides a detailed analysis of the application of quantum mechanics of semiconductor nanostructures and electron transport under the influence of magnetic field. Electronics, lasers, atomic clocks, and magnetic resonance scanners all fundamentally depend on our understanding of the quantum nature of light and matter explored in this book.

Magnetic Field Effects on Quantum Wells is a highly technical treatment featuring:

  • Calculated parametric variations of transmission coefficient of the QW in non-tunneling regime in absence and in presence of magnetic field applied perpendicular to GaAs-AlGaAs interfaces
  • Explanations of magnetic field dependence of the parametric variations in a quantitatively exact manner
  • Presentations of background material on microelectronics, nanostructure physics, and classical mechanics

This is an invaluable resource for researchers, scientists, industry professionals, faculty, and graduate students working with quantum mechanics. It is an excellent text for post-graduates conducting research in semiconductor and condensed matter.
