Book cover Physics of Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Structures

Part of the book series: Physics of Solids and Liquids ((PSLI))

Abstract

Physicists and mathematicians have long thought about the way motions and relationships would change in systems with dimensionality different from that of the three-dimensional space we are accustomed to. Over the past decades it has become possible to fabricate structures that exhibit reduced dimensionality, and the subject of this book deals largely with systems that already exist. Reduced dimensionality can arise in many different ways, depending on the physical processes being considered, and usually involves a sample or a physically defined region within a sample with one or more dimensions small compared to an appropriate physical scale length.
