CONTENIDO:

For the third edition of Solid State Physical Electronics to keep up with the rapidly changing field, a major revision and extension of the second edition was necessary. As a consequence the part of dielectric, piezoelectric and magnetic devices had to be eliminated. This edition consists of three parts: I. Introductory chapters (1-6), dealing with wave mechanics, atomic physics, statistics, the theory of solid state materials in general, and of semiconductors in particular; II. Electron emission and conduction devices (Chapters 7-13), dealing with thermionic emission, field emission, photoemission, secondary electron emission, photoconduction, luminescence, and the application of these principIes to electron devices; III. Semiconductor devices (Chapters 14-20), dealing with metal- semi conductor diodes, p-n junction diodes, bipolar transistors, field effect transistors, junction luminescence, p-n junction lasers, avalanche oscillators, Gunn oscillators, space-charge-limited devices, Hall devices, thermoelectric devices, amorphous semiconductor devices, and their applications.
