Quantum Heterostructures: Microelectronics and Optoelectronics V.V. Mitin, V.A. Kochelap, M.A. Stoscio (Eds.); Cambridge University Press, ISBN: 0-521-63635-3, £29.95 Since the invention of the transistor (transfer resistors) by Bardeen and Brattain in late 1947, semiconductor devices have developed at an astonishing pace. Their discovery had an unprecedented impact on the electronic industry and on solid state research. Improvements in processing and litho- graphic techniques increased device speed and the level of integrated circuit complexity. The advent in recent years of sophisticated epitaxial growth techniques such as MBE and MOCVD has led to the development of a new class of materials and heterojunctions with unique electronic and optical properties. Before starting to read any book, it is good to first read its preface. Herein the authors state: “In this book you will find the fundamental physics and engineering principles under- lying quantum semiconductor heterostructures…. The book grew out of our research and teaching experience in these subjects…. The scope and the organisation of this book facilitate instruction on both the undergraduate and the graduate levels.” Chapters 2–6 cover the physics and engi- neering of quantum heterostructures. In Chapters 7 and 8, altogether approximatively 60 pages, the authors try to give an overview of the electron transport regimes. Then, in the next four chapters, they discuss the optics of quantum struc- tures, and the electronic, electro-optical, and optical devices based on quantum structures. In about 630 pages, the authors give a comprehensive overview of the field of quantum heterostructures. As stated in the preface, this is indeed a student’s book, which is meant to guide the student in the right quantum heterostruc- tures direction. The authors try to face the undergraduate student with the practical problems encountered in quantum physics and devices. Overall this is a very worthwhile book for anyone interested in quantum heterostructures. The presentation of the book is high with well-set text. The reviewer can recommend it highly to senior undergraduates or post- graduates students, but researchers in semiconducting mate- rials will also welcome the book and find things to interest them.
